Welcome back to the 11th episode of the Thursday Meditations show! Like always, today I share some thoughts I’ve had and some ways that each of us can overcome average. *** In today’s episode, we talk about 6 Scientific Principles of Personal Development Basically, I was thinking of some principles of science, and for some reason, I realized how similar it was to principles of personal development.
