a story of life


Purpose
Winners Have a Vision for Their Lives!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? And who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to be the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.
Nelson Mandela - Inaugural Speech, 1994

"The heart will achieve what the mind believes."
Byrd Baggett

"You don't hear so much about people with a dream today. It's almost as if they're afraid to discover what they're individually capable of and would rather just follow the other fellow. But all of us have more inside us than we believe possible. We have to dream big and dare to fail to bring it out."
Explorer Norman Vaughan - who in 1995, at age 89, was the first person to scale the 10,302 ft. mountain that he and legendary explorer Richard Byrd had discovered 65 years earlier!
