Don’t underestimate your ability to become more than you are now. As Jim Rohn says “If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree.”
You can decide to take a different path. One simple decision in the right direction can be all you need for a total life redesign.
As you set out today, remember that you can craft what your life looks like according to the actions you take. Be intentional in the way you live your days.

This isn’t directed at anyone in particular. If you think I’m talking about someone specifically, well you’re wrong. I’m addressing what I am unfortunately seeing a lot more of in the marketplace. I should also point out that I completely acknowledge that for the person looking to differentiate themselves as a “thought leader” or expert in some area, the approach of being seen as a tough minded, say anything type may well work for them.
