What I'm about to tell you is personal. Some might call it superstitious. Others may call it being obsessive compulsive. I guess it depends on how you look at it. Anyway, I was watching a college basketball game and the team I was pulling for was behind. I reached for my cellphone to call a friend when I heard an inner voice say, if you use the phone now your team will lose. So, I placed the phone down and waited till the end of the game (thinking that by doing this the team I was pulling for would win). The result: not only did I not use the cellphone, but the team I was pulling for lost.
I considered this a relief, because it made me realize that I have no power over whether they won or lost. I learned I had no control over most outcomes outside of myself. It's not my life, but the lives of others who will determine their own outcome. It was an incredible relief.
