Overview
If you think that you need to start making some changes, then do it. You can't wait for other people to give you permission -- or even encouragement. This is your life to lead. The kind of growth you experience and the types of changes you make are totally up to you. Following fads might make you feel like part of the crowd, but if it doesn't make you feel better about yourself, what good it is? Ironically, it's when you go off on your own that you feel the biggest crowds supporting you.
