INSIGHTS for SUCCESS

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

Comforts and security gained from having a good job certainly have their rewards and benefits, but unfortunately they are not necessarily linked to the realization of meaningful individual life purposes. 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.
