“Times of scarcity need to be met with generosity, times of fear with comfort, times of uncertainty with presence. When we care for those around us, we create a field of love.” 

― Thomas Hübl

I. Learn to Listen, Listen to Learn

  • Listen for truth and words

  • Listen for wisdom and ideas

  • Listen for value and substance

  • Listen for meaning and solutions

II. Examine Who You Are As A Dreamer.

  1. “Dream” – Envision your dream, keeping in mind potential obstacles.

  2. “Design” – Realize your unique purpose, and pinpoint the mentors, colleagues and team you’ll need to fulfill it.

  3. “Dare” – Take radical steps to push through rejections and insecurity.

  4. “Do” – Make your dream a reality, and dream even bigger.

“Big dreams require unreasonable, radical action to catapult you from where you are to where you want to be.”

The Last Words…

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes.
