If you want real change then walk differently.
How many of us would not want significant changes

I want to leave a mark on the world. Frequently remember the emotional burden
has your desired goal or change.
2) Understand how to transform negative habits, the writer
Charles Duhigg in his book “The Power of Habits” clearly mentions that
