If you are still having trouble working out your goals or just can’t be bothered because you think it’s too overwhelming, here’s an idea. It’s something I read by speaker & author Michael Hyatt. You can read his blog here. “If you could fast forward to the end of 2012, how will your life be [...]

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesnt matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle – [...]
