If we are fortunate we are given many chances in life to make a decision. Choices that will unequivocally impact our future. I have been presented with quite a few. Clarity is not easily achieved. You have to peel back the ego, see through the distractions, and embrace what has proven to be undeniable. Without failure there would be no meaning.

It’s your story!
