Anyway, its more than just the fact that the person who has given up, stops trying. Infact simply by NOT giving up, increases your chance astronomically... Thats scientific fact - Its called the 'Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon' - Here's how it works...

You know when you decide to buy a certain type of car, and then from the moment you've made your choice, to the moment you are driving your new car, you see the same make and color car as you wanted to get everywhere? I mean that must be a sign you made a good choice yes?

Well, no, of course its not that. Those cars have always been there, but until you made a conscious choice to get one, they were not relevant to you - So your brain filtered them out - You simply just didn't see them... But the moment you chose to get one, they suddenly became 'impoortant' to you, so your brain made sure that you noticed them.. Like I say, that's the 'Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon'

That same thing applies to the Washing Machine. Because you want one, its in your mind and subconsciously you are thinking How CAN I afford one? The brain comes into play and you start seeing them everywhere!

No, not washing machines... OPPORTUNITY'S!

Everyday there are multiple opportunity's for you to make money every single day, but because you are not looking for a reason to see them - You cant. As soon as you are, then you will?

So why not forget the washing machine, and just spend all day thinking 'I want to be rich, how can i get rich?' You know, cut out the washing machine, and get straight to the point... That will work wont it? That will save a bit of time! We will all be millionaires tomorrow in that case wont we?

Well as you've guessed, NO that wont work - But here's why... Because 'Rich' is an abstract term - What's rich to one, may not be rich to another, and whos to say if you were really wealthy you still wouldn't want more? Even if you said 'I want to be a millionaire - I want a million in the bank' - There, that's NOT abstract is it?

Still wont work... Not because anything I'm saying is incorrect or untrue... Its just too much in one go - Trying to attain a $600/800 Washing machine will present you with many many unseen opportunity's each day, to get a little closer to owning you washing machine. Many many opportunity's! But how many opportunity's are there going to be each day to become a millionaire? Less than Zero? Exactly.. I mean come on - This is sTience, not fucking 'magic'...

So that's it really. Simply by setting the 'Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon' in action, by making a realistic, obtainable goal in your life, as opposed to just giving up, and opportunity's to achieve that goal will present themselves one after another - However, decide 'I Cant' & you'll never see the opportunity's infront of you...

Remember, its sTience, not magic, and Bean wont let you down...
