The Tao Li Controversy Continues…

I think a lot of people miss the point in the whole point in the controversy in the medals. If you want to be territorial, it’s simple. Who did what, and argue about the value of how much you sacrificed.
That’s silly. The argument will carry on for a thousand more years.
I truly believe that whatever [...]

Confidence…

I find many people getting interested in personal development and self-mastery because they want more confidence. I’d just like to add something that might help you define your purpose a little more clearly - confidence to do what?
