HOW you think and feel are both important, but how you think will be a leading factor in your success, not how you feel.

Alone. Have thoughts, plans, aspirations that are not determined or shaped by commercials, fads, friends, or even by immediate and extended family.
Tough to do? Of course.
Liberating? Yes.
I encounter people who appear somewhat terrified to allow an independent thought to cross their beautiful minds.
