INSIGHTS for SUCCESS
“You have two choices: You can make a living, or you can design a life.” (Jim Rohn)

In fact, they can often become disconnected and can result in profound feelings of discontent. disorientation, and disappointment.
Choices have consequences. Seek to make a living that is integral with living a life of your own personal design, and not that of others or of thoughtless happenstance.
