Setting Your Vision for 2021
Happy New Year! 2020 has been a year like no other. Many of us experienced challenges, setbacks and uncertainty. If 2020 has taught us one thing, it’s to slow down and focus on what matters most. And, no matter what you’ve experienced this past year, you made it through and now, it’s time to start…

What Is The Value of Your Life?
This story starts in a quaint little monastery where one day, a little monk asked his elder: “Master, what is the greatest value of my life?” The elder smiled at him, but didn’t give him the answer. Instead he told the young monk to go on a little journey: “Before I give you the answer,…
Getting to the Core
Life is interesting! Whether we are working in a company or have our own business, it’s easy to get side-tracked from our vision. I don’t believe we necessarily go running away fromour values. It’s more like we go wandering away, and one day, we wake up in a place we never meant to be, drifting in a…
