“Novelist Victor Hugo believed, "He who every morning plans the transactions of the day and follows out that plan carries a thread that will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life . . .

And anytime you feel afraid of doing something but go ahead and do it anyway, you will be reprogramming your attitude.
