What This Country Needs...

8/25/2020

"What this country needs is more people to inspire others with confidence, and fewer people to discourage any initiative in the right direction; more to get into the thick of things, fewer to sit on the sidelines merely finding fault; more to point out what's right with the world, and fewer to keep harping on what's wrong with it; and more who are interested in lighting candles, and fewer who blow them out." - Father James Keller (1900-1977), Founder, The Christophers

I have reinvented myself numerous times over my professional career.
One thing I have realized during all those changes is we were not supposed to live common and ordinary lives. We were made to be uncommon and extraordinary!
From my initial job out of college working for a Fortune 100 company, to my time in health care administration, to my years in law enforcement and eventually to my journey through cancer, I have come to understand that pain and discomfort can make us stronger and more resolute.
We can use our struggles to make us better people, if we embrace our distress.
I started this site with the hope that everyone who reads it will be inspired to move beyond the easy and comfortable to a life that has commitment, meaning, purpose, and significance.
