Just as an owl is being an owl by concentrating on going after its prey, we must concentrate and think of what we started with and move on to planning what we want.

Emerson said in the Essay- Compensation that “Every act rewards itself… Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed.”

Concentration does not mean mere thinking of thoughts, but the transmutation of these thoughts into practical values; the average person has no conception of the meaning of concentration. There is always the cry” to have” but never the cry ” to be:; they fail to understand that they cannot have one without the other, that they must first find the ” kingdom” before they can have the ” things added.” Momentary enthusiasm is of no value; it is only with unbounded self-confidence that the goal is reached.

The lMaster Key, Charles Haanel 17:11

Confidence is substituted for my fear! The Law of Substitution goes into effect!
