Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe

You must have some vision for your life. Even if you don't know the plan, you have to have a direction in which you choose to go... You want to be in the driver's seat of your own life because if you are not, life will drive you.

Take what you can do and use it for the highest good to benefit others.
