There is a well known rule in racing, you go where you look.  See a stone wall on the outside of corner and stare at it too long, you may just find it unavoidable.  See a gap between competitors, you can squeeze through.  Spot a smooth section of road, you enjoy the experience of riding on silk.

We gravitate towards our focus (maybe not precisely) but powerfully enough that it is a law of attraction.  Where is your focus?  Barriers, paycheck, saying ‘yes’, a new world view?
