Conventional wisdom does not take into account the negativity that we feel. All it says is that we should focus more on working hard, getting that promotion, starting a family, and doing everything else to bring more positivity into our lives rather than dealing with the problem itself. But conventional wisdom has things backward. You see, it is not our success that fuels our positivity but positivity that fuels our success. In similar ways, it is positivity that makes us achieve more by changing our lifestyle, habits, and viewpoints.

Effective communication is at the heart of all rewarding human relationships.

The Core has labeled the authorized version of THE TIMELINE we constantly endeavor to maintain as the “approved timeline”—or ATL for short. To be sure, I once believed that time flowed like a river from point A to point B and then to point C, and so forth.

Things not to do when you find out you’re a wizard: 1. Do not destroy your apartment with magical fire. You WILL NOT get the security deposit back. 2. Do not form an alliance with the guy who is trying to murder you. This will end badly. 3. Do not drag the girl you’re desperately in love with into your wizard mess. You risk her watching you fail miserably. 4. Under no circumstances should you get in the middle of an epic magical battle. Death will happen. Lots of death and bad things.
