3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I have reached a conclusion for which I have no logical explanation - I'm always provided with what I need, and this has been the case ever since I have adopted the attitude of Gratitude. I simply cannot see how this works, but I cannot deny the fact that this has been my experience.

Because it has no basis in logic, I can't just relax knowing I've "cracked it", I simply have to carry on being focused on Gratitude. My experience is that belief determines your experience every bit as much as the reverse. When you believe something, your experience of the Universe moulds itself to fit it.

Sports coaches know this very well - the athletes in their charge perform better when they believe in themselves - thet's the reality.

Though not really a "law" in the scientific sense, I have come to believe absolutely in the Law Of Attraction - whatever you focus on, that experience manifests itself in your life. That being the case, the most important discipline to learn is concentration. Having mastered this, the most important thing to focus on is Gratitude.
