“We must all push on the walls until eventually we break through”—Cesar Chavez
This Week's Goal: Finalize your Take Action project proposal and take action! Why? So that you can develop the strategic planning and leadership skills necessary to make impactful change both now and in the future! Why? Because, those who feel they have ownership over their lives, do work that they are passionate about, and can create their own reality, report being happier and feeling more successful in life. As 5th century Greek philosopher, historian and general, Thucydides once said, "The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage" Announcements
