Uncertainty

I'm not a very religious nor superstitious person and I pretty much believe we make our own "luck". When something goes bad I try to find what I've done wrong or incorrect to have this negative result come about. The same goes for when something positive happens, and anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I don't mind sharing how great I am! Having said that I do allow myself to be susceptible to bad "signs or omens". The same is not true for good ones though, which obviously doesn't make any sense. Yesterday we decided to get a new car but the place that had the car we looked at before and liked, had sold it an hour before we got there. So today I'm thinking that this was a sign and we shouldn't buy a new car because if we were "meant" to get a new car then it would have been there. But when we first looked at getting a new car it was there and priced right and just what we (my wife) wanted. So why wasn't that a good sign? I'm not looking for "answers", just merely stating that it's something stupid that I do. Neither the Sun, nor the Mountains, nor Simon Cowell, nor the Greek God Zeus made the car get sold before we got there, it was happenstance. This goes back to my thoughts on being self-employed and being fiscally responsible and I guess being cheap has crept into my choices on personal finances as well. A wise man once said..."That's all I have to say about that."
