  Reciprocation I've observed that when there is one problem in life - that usually it reciprocates in other parts of your life. You'll see it all the time in symbols. For instance, a problem you may be having will often "symbolically" manifest itself in your car.
If you're having trouble getting started in life - your starter goes out. If you're having trouble getting work done(getting "traction") - your tires go flat. You're having trouble keeping yourself from doing something - your brakes go out. And if you ignore the symbols... well that's bad news. That's when the universe decides it's time to teach you a lesson. And that's when stuff breaks.
Either you get in an accident, or your computer crashes, or something equally ouchie. That's why it's important to remain observant. Anyways, I've also observed that the reciprocation works in the other direction as well. The solutions reciprocate, that is. For instance, my happiness. I suddenly became happy, when I decided "I am happy". I changed my perception of things. After all disposition is merely perception. And I realized today that I have the same issue with my productivity. I've languished in ignorance for a couple months. I wouldn't even acknowledge that I wasn't working enough. I'd walk into the studio and sit down at the computer and wouldn't even let the issue of discipline, or productivity enter my mind.
I mean, I feel guilty about not working. But not enough to make me change. Guilt trips never did work very well with me. So I allowed it, because there were more important things happening, with my little spiritual reawakening and all, and I recognized that. But I'm ready to get back to work now. And really - it's as simple as deciding that "I am disciplined". I'll wake up tomorrow and know that I am required to sit down and paint. Because I've had my play time, I've had my mental renaissance, and now it's time to get back to the drawing board. I really don't know any other way to explain it. Other than I've "decided" to be productive from now on. I'll finish a painting tomorrow, and do some sequential art tue-thur and some caricature samples on friday. But I'm obligated to do it now. It's my job. For at least 6-8 hours after I get out of bed and eat breakfast.
I'm sure that a few months down the road I will need to readjust my perceptions once again, and force myself back on the tracks. But this is good, it's important to remain observant, and watch the symbols that life gives us. But that's just my opinion. --Will
