A childhood belief about special powers

I used to believe that I could use the Force, just like Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars movies. I would sit endlessly, arm pointing at some object across the room, trying to move it with my mind. I tried imagining what the object would feel like if it were in my hand. I tried picturing the object moving across the room and into my hand. I tried thinking of a field of energy that would come out of my hand and envelop the object, like a tractor beam. Nothing ever worked. That Yoda's full of baloney!
