To challenge yourself takes courage, not for the strength it takes to accomplish your goals but for the commitment to stay true to your dreams.

The closer you get to your past the sooner you realize it was never present

Goals get clearer when you place your focus on a committed long term vision that includes integrity and well formed steps

Every obstacle is an opportunity to make success a reality

The strong leader takes a chance when there is little hope, The hope that he will succeed and little chance of failure

Rise above the daily stumbles and place your focus on your vision. When you identify your desires commit to unlimited success

The choice to believe in something bigger than yourself is the beginning of the transformational mastery of your success~
