“Most of our energy goes into upholding our importance… If we were capable of losing some of that importance, two extraordinary things would happen to us.

“Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.”
- John Updike
Close your eyes and imagine the life of your dreams. Actually see it through your own eyes. Touch it. Hear it. Smell it. Taste it. How do you feel? How would you describe your character? Where are you [...]

The easiest thing to do is to blame your circumstances on something or someone other than yourself. Someone makes you mad. The professor made the test difficult, so you failed.
