being happy. A Handbook to Greater Confidence and Security by Andrew Matthews. Chapter one Patterns Let's take a look at this mind of yours when you walk across the road. Do you have to concentrate on every step when you chew gum? Do you have to think about it when you eat a pizza? Do you have tow work at digesting it? Now?

From now on, it will cost you a dollar. He hurt his shoulder the next day, and we have not played tennis since. He thought that the world was doing it to him. He was not trying to be late, consciously, but on his subconscious. He had a program that said, You are always running behind, and that program was running his life
