Accountability is critical for personal growth and change. We are not defined by a single event or moment in our lives and being able to own and accept responsibility for our success and our failures, allows us to become the best version of ourselves.
Every person deserves the chance to live their optimal life. This doesn’t imply life lacks challenges or effort; rather it suggests achieving happiness and fulfillment is attainable. I want to assist others in realizing their full potential and living their best lives.
"There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You’d think the dreamers would find the dreamers and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not, the opposite is true. You see, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. And the realists? Well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground."
