It’s one thing to know what you believe, know what you value and know what’s important, but believers use trust, hope and resilience to manage the constant stream of doubt that potentially weakens their vision. Believers are aware of their current reality and they also use positive delusion to fuel belief until the evidence of…

So we have set out to create our life masterpiece and have great vision for what it will look like. But don’t forget to be grateful for all that you do have now. What are you grateful for? Of course this list may change daily, but let’s decide what we are grateful for today? My…
