Ready Willing & Able
Living Your Life by Design Rather than Default
Are you living someone else’s dream or are you making progress to fulfill your own dream?
Do you feel overwhelmed with taking the necessary actions to get what you want?
Are there times when the distractions have more appeal than the tasks at hand?
How in the heck do you know what you’re supposed to be doing when your parents give you directives?
Do you ever doubt that your current study is the right one for you?
Youthful innocence often protects us from fully understanding that we have options available to us in every situation along life’s journey. We have choices over our thoughts and even as children, some of our actions.
