How To Learn In 2 Days What Normally Takes 6 Months
Research has found that having clarity about your goals is essential to having motivation to achieve those goals.
If you’re not clear on what you’re doing, it’s hard to be motivated. Which is why seemingly easy tasks, like sending a fax, could end up taking months. There’s a lack of clarity on how to do it, so you don’t — until either you have to or it’s too late.

“Whom then shall I follow?”
“No one. The day you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.”
…We must avoid following other people’s truth, mainly when everyone is searching for answers of their own. A teacher can only take you so far in your knowledge while your inner wisdom has access to absolute intelligence.
