Our world is filled with mixed messages. We are constantly told what to do and what not to do by Oprah, Dr. Phil, Matt Lauer, Barbara Walters, Ryan Seacrest, Simon Cowell, the Newspaper, and the Internet, not to mention Television Advertising!
The real question is how do we filter through all the mixed messages to get to what’s really important? How do we regain our priorities in a world that pulls us in 20 different directions all at once?
