To begin with, you must realize that any idea accepted by the brain is automatically transformed into an action of some sort. It may take seconds or minutes or longer - but ideas always produce a reaction of some sort. ↗

With a definite, step-by-step plan - ah, what a difference it makes! You cannot fail, because each step carries you along to the next, like a track. ↗

We... are not really free if we can't control our own government and its policies. And we will never do that if we remain ignorant. ↗
