Clarity – Light for Your Path

As I wrote about earlier this week, Clarity is of the key factors in continuous growth and development. As Robin Sharma said “Clarity proceeds success.” If you’re like me, you thought you understood what that meant until you really decided to be clear about a goal you wanted to achieve.

The Power of Clarity for Continuous Growth

I just returned from a week away in the mountains of Banff, Canada with my wife. We spent time hiking, taking in a few of the different tours and just enjoying the sights and sounds of the area. A couple times we just spent a few hours at a coffee shop sipping a cold drink…
