Most people look at life like this

Friday, August 27th, 2010

have -> do -> be

When I have or get this in my life, then I will be able to do that, and then I’ll be this (secure, happy, peaceful, powerful).

be -> do -> have

I become the person that I need to be to be able to do whatever it takes to have whatever I want.
