So many people today are totally possessed by their fears.  Our society encourages this way of thinking.  They take counsel of their fears, they stoke their fears, and they let their fears control their minds.  The result is permanent stagnation.  Stop being ruled by worry and fear.  Break free of this mentality, and learn to have the confidence that you will handle anything that comes your way.

How To Destroy Your Business

There are people who feel starved for direct, real experience.  They see themselves as living a lie, and are desperate to fill the void.  So they channel their energies into avenues that offer little in terms of real value: "life coaches," counselors, nutrition "experts," etc.  What they are really lacking is the inner satisfaction that comes from knowing one has had real, direct, and meaningful life experiences.
