Odds are you have a daily to-do list. Nearly everyone on the planet does. How are you at accomplishing your to-do tasks? Do you get most or all of them done? What about the higher priority items?

Prisoners who don't follow the rules are sent to solitary confinement, a consequence known to break even the most hardened minds among us. We believe solitude is an enemy and being alone is a sign of failure. Failure in life, failure in relationships, and even failure in performance. In many ways, we confuse aloneness with loneliness.

But we don't need to be afraid and a little bit of courage may just get you the rooftop experience it got me.
