Acceptance and Focus. Acceptance first, focus second. You can only 
really focus if you accept whatever is running through your 
conciousness at any given time. I have often found that I become very 
unfocused and make heaps of excuses when Im in a low period, in 
stress or scattered. But by accepting WHATEVER is happening, and 
whatever you feel, and wherever you are at and then focusing on the 
intention, I've found you get much better results. Its an attitude 
of "everythings ok and Im going to just keep plugging on until I 
manifest my desire" (a bit like wu-wei in Lao-Tzu). Some say a 
spiritual warrior uses every experience (the good the bad the sad and 
the ugly) as a springboard to manifest his hearts desire. But to be 
in a 'bad' situation and look at it in this way, you've first got to 
accept from a very detached space. Its almost about seeing the whole 
thing as a game. A great example of this... Check out the second 
Matrix movie (matrix revolutions) and look at Trinity (Neo/Keanu 
Reeves' girlfriend) in the scene where she almost dies. If you 
observe her really close you'll see a point at which she stops seeing 
her fighting with the agents as a game which she is playfully in 
control of, to seeing what she is doing as a life threatening 
situation. After this happens, she's basically already lost. This 
acceptance and focus rule comes from the deep feeling that we are 
creators no whatter what the circumstances. Keep it playful. Trust 
this helps somehwat.
