weird (adj.)
c. 1400,
• "having power to control fate", from wierd (n.), from Old English wyrd "fate, chance, fortune; destiny; the Fates," literally "that which comes,"
• from Proto-Germanic wurthiz (cognates: Old Saxon wurd, Old High German wurt "fate," Old Norse urðr "fate, one of the three Norns"),
• from PIE wert- "to turn, to wind," (cognates: German werden, Old English weorðan "to become"),
• from root wer- (3) "to turn, bend" (see versus).
• For sense development from "turning" to "becoming," compare phrase turn into "become."

Your will overrides everything. If you believe that emotions/frequency/vibrations are important then you will be relying on those things and they will become relevant, but they don't have to be.
It will make more sense when you understand what it means to decide instead of hope and wait. When you decide to get a glass of water you don't rely on emotions or vibrations, you simply get up and get a glass of water. You know that water is already there and you only have to reach for it.
"Deciding" and "knowing" are learned habits of confidence which you can develop over time, little by little like learning a musical instrument or any other skill.
