Refuse to deny another minute of your life! While reading Don Miguel Ruiz’ The Four Agreements again, I was captivated by a particular line: “Action is about living fully. Inaction is the way that we deny life.”
Empowering Children: What does it mean?
When I was first approached by Steven Wrigley about The Global Outreach Foundation, many things caught my eye. What the organization was about, his vision on where it would be, the contacts he had to make it happen and more than anything, the drive that he had to make a change in the world. However, [...]
LIFE: What’s the point?
LIFE: The point is simple–make it a POINT. Sleep. Eat. Drive. Work. Eat. Work. Drive. Eat. Sleep… Sound familiar? For most of us, it is the daily grind. But let us never forget the main point of our existence…

Human Development-Building Up Others
I am convinced that far more idealistic aspiration exists than is ever evident.

Mankind is waiting and longing for [...]
