3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With the New Year effectively starting tomorrow, the chief thought on my mind is focus my intention. I am convinced that the key to an effective life boils down to focus and concentration. When I first started to develop this skill, I realized how asleep most people really were, simply reacting to their circumstances rather than forging them.

My own efforts have been handicapped by overactive emotions, and it has taken me a long time to get a grip on them. Even now, I am vulnerable to the wrong circumstances in the wrong environment, so I have countered this by creating the best possible environment for myself. This has allowed me to think straight and develop the very high levels of focus needed for both success and Enlightenment. 

I am very clear about what I want to achieve, and it is now simply a case of being superconscious enough to grasp the opportunities that will make it all happen.

Black Friday is a US tradition in which one Friday per year, goods in stores are heavily discounted. In 2008, a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death when he attempted to open the doors to the store at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Your inner life is already endowed with everything you need. No matter how difficult your situation may be, you are alive now, and there is no treasure more precious than life itself.
