The Universe is Eavesdropping on Our Desires

This quote is taken from Deepak Chopra's book "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success – A Practical Guide to the Fulfillment of Your Dreams."  We bring it home.  Try it on, look in the mirror and do a half-turn in each direction while looking over our shoulders, then gaze off pensively with our heads turned at a 20 degree angle up and to the left, only to look back at it... paying special attention to see if it makes our butt look fat.  Then we put back in its box and send it back where it came from, after realizing, it was just there to listen to us.
