For those of you who are just starting this process, I advise you to go back to February 1st and read all the posts up to today. I decided to hold off into diving into our guiding principles (what we stand for) for another day. Building a life of purpose is a process, it is…
Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best will come to naught. Unless there is God.
