Tony Robbins says, “Your mind interprets the events we experience within the framework you set for yourself, meaning that whether an experience is positive or negative is largely determined by our mood and state of mind. Think about it: The emotion and meaning our minds attach to events ultimately count more than the experiences themselves because they condition our willingness to experience and pursue them. This is the key to uncovering what motivates you in life and how to use it to achieve your dreams.”

- Clutter – items that are crowded and confusing in a room.

- Emotional clutter will look different.
