đż A Tiny Charm, a Big Test â and the Unexpected Magic That Followed
I used to carry a deep fear of failure.
Especially behind the wheel.
It wasnât really about driving, it was about what if I fail again?
After failing my first driving test, I realized something important:
It wasnât just my driving that needed work it was my mindset.
So I made a shift.
I started asking a different question:
âWhat if this time, everything goes exactly the way I want it to?â
I found a motivational audio clip and played it on loop every day.
I journaled, visualized, and even imagined the moment Iâd hear:
The night before the test, I wrote everything down as if it had already happened.
How calm I felt.
How smooth the drive went.
How proud I was, holding my license.
I even made a private celebration post, full of dreamy Pinterest vibes like a memory from the future.
đ The Moment of Truth
The next morning, I actually felt⊠good.
But during the test, I made a small mistake while parallel parking.
And that old fear came rushing back.
My hands tensed. My breath shortened.
But then⊠I remembered.
Some tests allow you to ask for a short break.
So I did.
I closed my eyes. Took a breath.
And saw the version of me I had been visualizing for weeks calm, capable, collected.
I finished the test. Still unsure.
But I kept repeating to myself:
âWhy doubt? Youâve already passed in your mind.â
đ The Unexpected Magic
We returned to the office.
âCongratulations, youâve passed!â

Those exact words.
The same ones I had written the night before.
Even the random skills I was tested on? They matched what I visualized.
But here's what I believe truly grounded me...
đ The Charm That Helped Me Believe
A week before the test, a close friend handed me a small gift:
âKeep this with you. Itâs real â just like your strength.â
It was a round four-leaf clover charm,
preserved in resin, shimmering with gold flakes,
and engraved with my name on the back.
It wasnât flashy. It wasnât magic.
But it was a quiet anchor a little reminder that good things are allowed to happen to me.
