I live by the third law of motion in physics, which is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I know what I’m thinking, and therefore going to act on, is going to come back to me in a circular motion. Just like gravity, what goes up must come down. What propels the action is the intention. I don’t do anything without being fully clear about why I intend to do it. Because the intention is going to determine the reaction, the result, or the consequence in every circumstance.
