How to actually use quotes

A quote is a focusing tool, not a spell. Pick one that stings a little — the one that makes you think of a specific goal — and put it where you'll see it while working on that goal. That's it. For the working method behind the words: the Law of Attraction for beginners. For more canine material: Coco's full quote library, or the book where all of these live in context.
