in the world. And this I would fight for: The freedom of the mind to take any direction it

than ever before. Why? Because I have no other choice if I want to succeed. And, believe

world? Then start with a change and a choice. Change any attitudes and behaviors that may
get in your way and sabotage your success. And choose to forge ahead with spirit,
determination and a lot of love along the way.
Connie Podesta

Michael A. Singer
