3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
After a jolly good two-week slob, "Holiday At Home" is over and it's time to get moving again. I had the space to review my targets and objectives, being completely honest with myself about what I wanted. I concluded that I am currently living exactly the life I want to. Having the resources to enhance the house and quit the Weekend Job would be nice though.

With regards to my purpose, that is clear in my mind - to make a positive difference on an ongoing basis. 

I believe the in the "Law of Attraction" (although scientifically it is a hypothesis) which affirms that whatever you are consistently focused on manifests in your life. It requires an act of faith that if you focus entirely on WHAT you want, the HOW looks after itself and you need not waste mental energy on it, because the necessary steps become obvious on a moment-by-moment basis.

This exciting hypothesis is easily testable if you are prepared to be the subject of the experiment. Having fully embraced uncertainty, I have no issues in doing so. The challenge is in keeping focus, overriding the mind's default
tendency to wander. I have started to use the affirmation WHAT, NOT HOW to keep my mind in the right place.
