Ripples v5.22: Ripples of DETERMINATION!

Fall seven times, stand up eight.

The longer I live, the more I am certain
that the difference between the great and insignificant
is energy - invincible determination - a purpose
once fixed and then death or victory.

I was in St. Louis this week with marketing and training
professionals from credit unions across Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri.
In addition to enjoying a fantastic view of the Arch and the mighty
Mississippi River, we explored the importance of DETERMINATION in
achieving our goals and maintaining a positive attitude. If we are
to enjoy a happy and successful life, we must remember that it will
not always be easy. That is OK! With a bit of determination we can
rise above the challenges and ultimately enjoy life more after
conquering these challenges! Go for it, my friend, GO FOR IT!


Peace,
Paul
