I carry this poem with me every day and read it when I start to feel down..It's so profound !
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I AM the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul...
by William Ernest Henley; 1849-1903

I have traveled the globe studying the thoughts, actions and habits of those who create true wealth in every area of life. You name it, if it affected success or showed any of the five kinds of wealth--financial, relational, mental, physical and spiritual--I studied it.
Here's your chance to ask me your most burning question, ranging from the physical to the spiritual and everything in between. Literally anything goes!
