[190] Why your image of reality determines your success?

In life, we don't do anything arbitrarily. Everything we do, we do for certain rules, for certain assumptions about ourselves. For example, do you want to be as funny as your peers? Then each time you socialize you most likely try to tell jokes and be the funny guy. However, trying to fit in all the time is not the way you should live your life and EXPECT SUCCESS... On the other hand, BEING RELAXED and YOURSELF... That's the magic! You are great and amazing!  If you think anything else,...
