What if you could be anyone you wanted to be, have anything you wanted to have, experience everything you wanted to experience, and be successful at everything you would set yourself out to do?

Stop ignoring your dreams and ambitions, so regret won’t creep into your life
Can you imagine what the Earth would look like if humans had never ventured out of our early settlements? We certainly wouldn’t have grown very much as a civilization.

Setting the Coordinates of your Life Compass
Finding your inner compass is the first step in the challenge of navigating the waters toward your goals. Once you know what your goals are, how are you supposed to set the coordinates?

It’s My Life (isn’t it?)
