Your Enemy’s Most Effective Strategy
In my last three blog posts, “You Are a Victor, Not a Victim,” “What to Do with Rogue Thoughts,” and “Where Thoughts Come From,” I have been talking about the importance of managing the thoughts we experience.

Are you experiencing peace in the midst of all that is going on in the world today? Or are you being weighed down by the “what ifs”? What if … things in your tiny corner of the world spin out of your control? What if … you or someone you love gets sick? What if […]
