I was thinking more about the video on the subconscious and conscious mind (a couple of posts back).
One point the video made is that we see only a small window (in focus), - recall the bit about holding your thumb at arm's length and that = 1 degree …
(if you haven't watched the video on the subconscious and conscious I recommend it - two posts earlier)
It was an example how our thoughts can drift off to a mental conversation of another topic than the one we want to be engaged in. It is like when you are reading a book and then realize you have drifted off and aren't sure which was the last paragraph you read.
Keeping our minds focused on our main goal can be difficult especially if we work on our own.
How can we combat this?
Perhaps having not only our long-term goal written out, but also the night before a plan of what we will tackle the next day and how that relates to the current module of our long-term plan.
Henry Ford is reported to have offered $25,000 to anyone who would show him how to save a single nut and bolt on each automobile he made.
Without Henry Ford, our country would not be the America we know today. His focus reducing costs and improving productivity allowed him to build the first automobile that ordinary people could afford and led to the construction of a vast network of roads and highways that gave birth to today’s mobile society.
It also set the stage for total quality management and continuous improvement programs that are prevalent in the automotive industry today. We would all be well advised to take a page from the lessons that the automotive industry has learned in recent years.
A focus on the needs and wants of our customers allows us to become an indispensable part of their lives, but nothing is forever. Continuous improvement is expected in virtually every industry, and quality is the minimum requirement in today’s global economy.
Leaders are those who significantly outperform the competition in every aspect of the business.
Friendly cooperation is never any part of the Devil’s work. He is working on the other side.
The most noble human relationships are those that have been formed in a spirit of cooperation and harmony.
Cooperation, in many ways, is the physical manifestation of your care and concern for your fellow man. When you work with others in a spirit of friendly cooperation, you are conducting yourself according to the founding principles of most religions and all successful societies.
Truly successful people have learned to concentrate upon their own objectives and help others along the way.

I had the image of myself in the sweater.
I could feel the sweater on me.
I could hear the pretty girls say - "That's the guy that won the sweater."
I would pretend I didn't hear them.
I had to have that sweater.
I had the image
I got emotionally involved in the image.
I could feel myself in the sweater. (Feeling is the recognition of the vibration I had set up in the body my being emotionally involved in the image.

It's in the image.
Have you been wishing for good things to happen but thinking bad things will happen?
Most people will let their present physical results control their way of thinking.
They are emotionally involved in it.
They think it's an accident that same results keep happening.
If you have a cashflow problem (marital problem, health problem etc) that's what most peopl focus on.
You should ask for help.
There is only one source.
You should see health.
You should see prosperity.
The cynics don't believe this, but the cynics don't get results.
Your circumstances may be uncongenial but will not long remain so if you perceive the ideal and strive to reach it.

20. Imagining Creates Reality | The Secret of Causation
10:56 If man longs to escape from his present sense fixation, to transform his present life, into a dream of what might well be, he has to imagine he is already what he wants to be, and then feel the way he would expect to feel under such circumstances.
The next time you feel the anger rising, remind yourself that no one can make you angry or emotional without your consent — indeed, your active participation is required. Those who have learned to manage themselves are the individuals who are destined to be leaders. They are chosen to manage others because they have demonstrated that they can manage themselves. They are people of character.
Through some strange and powerful principle of “mental chemistry” which she has never divulged, Nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire “that something” which recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure.
