Engaging people is about meeting their needs, not yours

No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.

The only thing keeping you from what you want is your story about why you can't have it.

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

It's pretty simple - The Action you take will determine the results you Achieve.

Nothing can drag you down if you're not holding on to it.

Its not about the goal. Its about growing to become the person that can accomplish that goal.

Don't put your purpose in one place and expect to see progress made somewhere else.
