A man's reach exceeds his grasp
We often say what we believe. That is how to tell what your mind is up to. Or how to know your foremost thoughts. It is this mind-space advertising spends so much to reach. It is top of the mind awareness and once they can get in, you think, feel and do what they push. It then seems like a personal or easy choice for you to buy what they sell; be it music, art, film, games, or fashion. It is a big bet for corporate media to direct your believe.

It's accurate, authentic, and it is living. Let us illustrate this with a scientifically proven and accepted event.

How I learned to start moving forward and stop moving backward
Like you, I grew up a child of two worlds; one internal, the other external. I took my inside world more seriously than I did the outside. Though it lay in front of me, it did feel less able than my imagination. I pushed the external world away, I ignored it. I soon faced the truth that it will not go away but become a conflict with my internal world. With age, failure, learning, regret, love, and forgiveness, I gained a new perspective - Balance.
