Quote of the Week:
"It’s Easier…" by John C Maxwell
  1. to settle for average than strive for achievement
  2. to be saturated with complacency than stirred with compassion
  3. to be skeptical than successful
  4. to question than conquer
  5. to rationalize your disappointments than realize your dreams
