–AfricanProverb

“To use your goals and aspirations as small talk over dinner dissipates their energy. But to meet with like minds and discuss the challenges and triumphs of mastering your life; that has power, splendor and esteem.

• Friends are, of course, invaluable for both creation and recreation. People who love us for what we are, not what we have done, are precious sup. port when we're trying to do and be more.

• You can form or join a support group of like-minded people moving in a similar direction.

Regular meetings at which victories are celebrated, problems solved, and new ideas brainstormed, can be unparalleled in their ability to produce ongoing results.
