1.A Most Extraordinary Garden
Garden is a symbol of mind.
Worries and anxieties being dumped in the fertile garden.
Mind Management is the essence of life management.
Your ICAN is more important than your I.Q.
Stop judging events as positive and negative and experience
them. Live out of the glory of your imagination and not your
memory.
The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master.
The boundaries of your life are merely creations of the self. With one eye fixed on the destination, there is only one left to
guide you along the journey.
