Society teaches our youth to want this...

Fame.

Fortune.

Glamour.

Materials.

And for centuries human beings have fallen into the trap of chasing it all.

What if we decided to flip the script?

What if the beacon of success was not fame and fortune?

Instead, what if it was to be the leader in your local community who helps make other lives better?

Instead, it starts in your own home. Being well known by your friends, family, spouses, and children.

Instead, it starts in your own mind. Knowing yourself well enough to understand your purpose for being alive.

Because if you start with your mind, your family, and your community...

You will reach a level of "success" that few will ever get to feel in their lifetimes.

And fame, fortune, and the toxic trait to want to be "well known" ... fades away.

The reality?

Everything you have ever wanted in your life is right in front of you.

It starts in your mind...

In your home..

And in in your neighborhood.

Realize this today and go make the most of what you have. :)
