R. A. S.

Did you know that you have a built-in screening device that either admits or blocks information? 

The human nervous system contains a marvellous network of cells called the Reticular Activating System, or R.A.S. Its function is to screen out unimportant information that comes to you through your senses. 

So, when you set a goal, you declare a new significance - you make something important. And suddenly, information that never got through before is all around you. Did you ever decide to buy something - maybe a new HD television - and the next day all you see are advertisements for HD TV's? They were there all along, but now they're important to you, so you notice them.

Now, when you set a goal and declare its importance, you'll find yourself noticing opportunities to help you achieve it that you never knew were there before.
