PEBBLE:
You don't have to be extraordinary to be exemplary.
-written & submitted by Brett Williams, Indianapolis IN

BOULDER:
You don't become great by trying to be great.

PONDER:
Today's pebble came to me from a conference participant who bonded with me
over our shared love of the animated movie "Bolt." The above quote was his

actions you might take this week to reinforce your greatness.

Peace,
Paul
