Last week I took my daughter to New York City for spring break to look at colleges. But it didn’t feel one bit like spring.
In fact, it was so cold we were wearing winter coats and boots, wondering if nature was playing a cruel trick on us.

I love to read Seth Godin’s blog. He has insights like no other. What is really fun is to take some of his lines out of his blog and put them up as quotes. Here are some of my favorites…

If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t,
If you like to win, but you think you can’t
It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost

Anything to take my mind off of how I feel and what that mind is telling me…

In life, every path leads somewhere and we are all on a path of some kind. So, the important question here is this – do you know where your path is leading you?
All of us prefer to think that the path we are currently on is leading us exactly where we want to go. But is that true, or is it just wishful thinking? And how can we know?
Life is a journey
In many ways life is like any other journey and the path we choose is important…
