I believe in mind over matter. I don’t believe “you are what you eat”, (although I do understand that diet can affect my emotions and energy, and those things can impact how I feel about myself.) That’s why I bless my food. It’s not a religious thing; I just...
Have you heard the 80/20 rule? It’s something like “success is 20% inspiration and 80% perspiration”. That means that while an idea may be great, feeling inspired at the outset will not suffice in terms of getting it done. So how do we channel inspiration into...
