      <title>The world does not run on rules or laws. It runs on something more personal—beliefs.</title>

  The world does not run on rules or laws. It runs on something more personal—beliefs. It runs on what people believe about who has power, who is willing to use it, and how far they are willing to go. Laws, treaties, and norms only function after that belief exists. When belief erodes, actors test boundaries. When belief hardens, behavior changes without negotiation. 
&lt;/div&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Success can create freedom. But when success is defined by an inherited belief system, it can consume the time and mental space required to discover what a meaningful life actually is.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
