wishing or wanting something really hard makes it happen theme

The idea is featured that if someone (implied anyone) really wants, wishes, needs, desires (etc. etc.) something then occasionally reality can magically make that thing come true.

Notes

This is not a reliable "ability", but something that happens more or less as a one-off to characters in special circumstances. If a character is able to reliably alter reality, then "unbounded thought powers" or "speculative ability related to reality at large" is applicable instead.

Examples

In tz1959e1x27 "The Big Tall Wish", Henry warned Bolie that the only way Henry's wish that Bolie had won the boxing match would stay granted, was if Bolie well and truly believed in it. Bolie could not find it in himself to believe in such a wacky thing. Therefore reality reverted, and Bolie found himself again having lost the boxing match.
