Who else remembers the old magazines that promised you could learn how to lose 15 pounds in 5 days, become sexier in 5 days, cook a meal, and all the old-school how-tos that were aimed at superficialities (and for women to be ‘better’ for men)!?
I certainly do. And who else tried and failed and felt like a failure because of it?
Don’t be superficial.
Don’t believe everything you read.
And don’t judge a book by its cover!
Search for truth, depth, and meaning in all things.
Use your judgment and trust your intuition.
Step into your power, but don’t abuse it.
