Antemeridian,

I agree that if you want to WIN A CONTEST by WRITING A BOOK, it would help to focus on one or the other.

There are two ways of doing this:

1.) Focus on winning the contest.

2.) Focus on writing the book.

But you probably wont win the contest and write the book without focusing on both.

If you simply write a book without wanting to actually win the contest you may not actually write a book that is in alignment with the requirements of the contest. Or you may not write the book to be the best book you can possibly write in order to win. You might simply write a book... and that's it, just a book.

OR you could simply focus on winning the contest and not on writing the book. If you simply do that then your attention won't be focused on actually writing the book, therefore you probably won't write the best book and probably won't win.

So don't you essentially have to focus on BOTH not just one or the other?

Maybe you can send out two, yet separate intentions that don't interfere with eachother.

1.) Win the contest (Inflow)

2.) Create the best book possible within the requirements of the contest (Outflow)

By making sure that they are separate intentions and not mixed together in one intention, can you manifest both intentions? Even if they are inflow and outflow?
