Taylor believes that you can make your college experience everything you ever dreamed it would be, if you put forth a little personal effort. The magic begins, writes Morris, with your mindset. The way you think, the way you feel, and the things you believe impact your life directly.
Once you've envisioned your life, are confident about it and have adjusted your beliefs to support your new life, its time to work on behavior. Your behavior, writes Morris, is the engine that moves your life along. What you do and how you act drives y our life.
The final phase in this process involves selecting and pursuing the education and training you need to obtain the skills and abilities that will help support your new, magical life in college and afterwards.
It's just that simple! Really!
