Fun Fact: We listen at 125-250 words per minute, but think at 1000-3000 words per minute. Quotable Quotes "Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand." ~ Karl Menninger "Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have gift, style, sharpness, clarity, and emotions to affect other people." ~ Jim Rohn

3.TAKE ACTION. Decide that you will take action toward your dreams and goals. Taking action creates momentum and positive energy to propel you forward. Small steps taken consistently lead to big accomplishments. Whether it is a diet, an exercise plan, a major project or a college degree, job is easier and less daunting when it is broken down into smaller steps. Decide that you will do one thing everyday for your dream. Ask yourself: What is one thing I can do now to get into action? 4.ENJOY THE JOURNEY. Life cannot be collected. Happiness cannot be traveled to, earned, owned, worn or consumed. It is found in present moment. Reward yourself for having courage to try something new and look for ways to celebrate along way. Ask yourself: What will I do this week to have fun and celebrate my journey? As mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by things you didn't do than by ones you did. So throw off bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream."
