Uncertainty repeated
creates a self fulfilling doubt,
which causes further uncertainty…
Speak of those things you desire,
focus on that which can be certain
and set the sails of your heart
to the winds of passion.
Choice – more than chance – brings you what you hope for…
Ever caught yourself saying things like:
