By now, you know that my PowerWord is RESOLVE. It is defined as "one who has a definite, firm plan of action." The first letter, "R", is for Resilience. We are in a new year. Having a definite, firm plan of action is not about resolutions. It's about a clear process that leads to a definite end result. The tools, or personal best practices, for successful daily living are not about randomness. Yes, there are the unexpected situations both good and bad. Living forward is a choice, and living forward takes behaviors that lead to the best outcomes. Today, we build a plan of action that leads to your best outcomes. We'll start with the letter "R" for resilience. I Respond, not retreat.
