Every day we unconsciously decide who and what we bring into our lives; from the products we buy to who we choose to be friends and do business with. We make our decisions in a few seconds based on our intuition and rarely use any rational thought or independent investigation. Our decisions are based on associations we assume from the outward characteristics and the invisible inner qualities we believe them to reflect.
