Hi! Welcome to another episode of "A Little Something About Everything." Today, we will look at how the universe interprets the word "not."

I'd like you to do an experiment. Go find a mesh like this, where the strand is small, and the opening is big. Find a mesh like this, put it around 5 feet away from you, and take some small pebbles and throw them and see how many of the pebbles go through the mesh versus how many hit the strand.

And you'll be shocked! You'll find that up to 30% actually hit the strand, even though it is so open—the mesh—30% will hit the strand, and 70% will go through the other side. And that is because when we are throwing the stone, we are thinking in our mind, "I do not want to hit the mesh. I do not want to hit the mesh." And the universe does not understand the word "not." It just filters it out and it takes the instruction as, "I do want to hit the mesh. I do want to hit the mesh." Which is why 30% of the stone—of the pebbles—will hit the mesh.

Our intention has a direct consequence on the effectiveness of our action.

That's it for this episode. Let me know in the comments how the experiment worked for you. See you in the next one.
