		<description><![CDATA[Life coaches, gurus and spiritual leaders often exhort their students to “simplify,” but this basic piece of advice is often misunderstood. To simplify one’s life doesn’t mean you have to do without. It doesn’t mean you have to give up your automobile and other modern conveniences, give up your lofty goals, or abandon your dream [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have long been an advocate of setting audacious goals and using visualization as a tool to help you achieve these goals. Success starts in the mind.
