If you want to see what I mean go on Instagram for 5 minutes.
People posting fake lives and editing their photos with all kinds of filters for the approval of strangers.

This is a BIG mistake and can collapse at any moment.

Your thoughts have a big role in this.
You have to train your mind and build yourself up.
When you are confident in yourself and value your worth.

Law 10 - Give more and youâll have more.
The final law and my current favorite.
A highly underutilized trait in the modern world.
Everything is about taking.
There is not enough giving.
Whether you believe in an external force that is greater than us or not.

Whether you believe in an external force that is greater than us or not.
This still applies.
By giving, you are essentially setting yourself up to have more.
Don't ask me how this works because I don't know.
But give it a try and see for yourself.
You don't even have to go our of your way.
If the occasion were to arise where you can help.
