Our science based society devalues the importance of faith, belief and a focus on desired outcomes. If you focus on a goal and believe in it, your subconscious will do the work. Unfortunately, we are trained and conditioned to only trust things we can explain. We feel obligated to be able to explain ourselves to others. Learn to say, "I don't know." Learn not to feel bad because you cannot explain yourself to others. Their demands for comprehendible explanations are a form of control. Their mocking of your failures are but mini-monuments to their own conceit. Great minds are those that move beyond the pettiness of others.
