Recently, I have seen several articles about the benefits of traveling directly to your goal rather than taking the longer meandering path. And for some people, that straight line is the best path.

It took me several decades of working hard before I gained…
Very seldom are we gifted with a truly extraordinary person in our lives. I mean a person who completely changes who you are, and what you strive to become…forever. These once in a lifetime opportunities are so rare that some people will never have the experience. But when you do, clearly, it is a wake-up call from on high, to step it up and live up to your potential. A nearly perfect example has been…
I’ve been told on many occasions and by many people that I am a bit of a control freak. And the funniest part is that I never saw that as a bad thing.

It’s true, change can be a little scary because it is often taking us to an unknown place.…
When one door closes, another door opens. But the door does not come looking for you. It is up to each of us to find the motivation and desire to seek out that new opportunity. Nothing is owed to us. We must earn it with hard work, dedication, and belief in the purpose of our journey.
