5๏ธโƒฃ Curiosity is the key to connection.


6๏ธโƒฃ Donโ€™t know what to prioritize? Refer to your values (or your companyโ€™s values).


7๏ธโƒฃ Life is about choice. You have the power to choose how you play your game. You own your results. Want a new result? Make a new choice.


8๏ธโƒฃ Life is never guaranteed beyond this moment right now. Choose wisely. Now.
