WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of “What’s The BIG Secret?”  It is not what you are thinking; it is what you are feeling that shows you your future path.  Take an accounting of what you are feeling every hour today and write down your feelings.  This is what you are expecting subconsciously and will determine what you actually get.  We reap what we sow and we sow what we feel.  So take an accounting and guard your feelings; they affect every other area of your life.  www.michaelpdunn.org
