It’s about time somebody said it…

Your biases serve an indispensable function in the production of every success you experience.
Your biases when acted upon is a sign that points toward progress; however, depending on your perception…it moves you closer to or further from your goals.

The bright side of being biased must be acknowledged for what they are and why they exist.
Success depends upon a powerful collection of strong, revered and enforced biases…unfortunately, being biased gets a bum rap.
