He has an ongoing blog in which he tries to motivate his readership to discover the important things in life that will bring them a sense of satisfaction. I was most curious about what he wrote in regard to enjoying the journey as opposed to celebrating the outcome, which is where many of us these days seem to focus … Continue reading
