Mental Mastery: If there were any law that I would consider to be as important as all other laws I would consider it to be this, the mastery is in saying Thank You before, during, and after your thought begins.
The simple act of being thankful goes much farther than you would believe.
By being thankful for the gifts BEFORE you receive them you are showing thanks that you WILL receive them.
This simple act also reinforces its message in your mind that you are trusting your mind to deliver.
Stamp a date on that belief as well.
Yes, tell your mind thank you for your gifts that it has provided on or before a certain date.
(Understand also that you must do your part as well when it directs you to do so.)
This is "I AM thanking you ahead of time because I know I am recieving," as opposed to...
"I Am hoping that you will give it to me."
By giving gratitude before I receive my gifts I, therefore, reduce my chances of mental exhaustion for fear of not receiving my gifts.
In short, one form is assured by saying " I know " and the other form is asking and saying " I hope."
During my years as a law enforcement officer I, on occasions, would need to use physical force when attempting to execute an arrest. That's just the part of the job at times.
On one occasion I had to chase the perpetrator of a burglary several hundred yards. He was fast but after he ran as fast as he could for a short distance he collapsed on the ground breathing hard and wheezing.
I placed the handcuffs on him, stood him up and walked him back to my patrol car. I wiped the dirt off of him and poured a cold bottle of water down his throat.
He looked at me strangley as I told him that I usually ran five or six miles a day and I wanted to thank him for giving me my exercise for that heartpounding 400 yards !
He just stared in disbelief.
I had mastered the situation by being thankful to him for the exercise.
