NOT A LOVE PRIORITY? HOW TO KNOW

A love priority changes your life. It also gives you the best excuse invented to dodge hard decisions. If you can’t do it with love, then you don’t do it? “I can’t do what you ask with love. Now what.” Option people ask questions that never come up with priority people. Option questions from priority […]

MOTIVATED LIFE: FEAR, ANGER, BIG FINISH

    From day one America grew an attitude of the picked on little brother. Instead of walking the plank of tradition and custom in the old country, early explorers took off for the new to live a motivated life.
