 *  Each principle is presented as a distinct function or class, along with examples

/**
 *  The BurningDesire function encapsulates the six steps outlined in Chapter 2

 *
 *  Pros: Provides a clear, actionable framework for achieving goals.
 *        Leverages the power of auto-suggestion and the subconscious mind.
 *
 *  Cons: Requires unwavering faith and persistence, which can be challenging.
 *        May lead to disappointment if not combined with practical action.
 *
 *  Pitfalls:  Setting unrealistic goals, neglecting to take action,
 *             losing faith during setbacks.

 *            neglecting to apply knowledge in practical ways.
 *
 * Relationship to Other Patterns: Specialized knowledge provides the 'action plan'
 *                                 for BurningDesire. It is enhanced by a MasterMind group.

 * Pros:  Creates a roadmap for achieving your BurningDesire.
 *        Provides structure and clarity to your actions.
 *
 * Cons: Requires flexibility and adaptability, as initial plans may need adjustment.
 *       Can become rigid and stifle creativity if not open to change.

 *
 * Relationship to Other Patterns: Decision is the catalyst that propels

/**
 *  Fear is the ultimate enemy of success, and the Six Ghosts of Fear,
 *  as described in Chapter 15, are the specific forms that this enemy takes.
 *  This code provides a framework for understanding and overcoming these fears.
 *
 *  Pros: Mastering fear liberates you to pursue your BurningDesire without hesitation.
 *        Enables you to take risks, overcome obstacles, and achieve your full potential.
 *
 *  Cons: Fear is a deeply ingrained emotion and can be difficult to conquer completely.
 *        Requires constant vigilance and self-awareness.
 *
 *  Pitfalls:  Denying or suppressing fear instead of acknowledging and addressing it,
 *             allowing fear to paralyze your actions.
 *
 *  Relationship to Other Patterns:  Overcoming fear is essential for activating and sustaining
 *                                    BurningDesire, maintaining Faith, and applying the other principles effectively.
