Just like Penelope Trunk said, spring is a great time to find out who you are and where you are going.

When I was a child I loved playing with play dough. Getting to form a boring ball of dough into something creative and fun was exciting to me. When you stop and think about it, your life is just like that play dough you used to play with as a kid. Your life can be molded into whatever shape or form your heart desires. What some of us fail to realize is that you are responsible for wherever you are and that means you can take steps to become the person you want to be.

I’m not saying there aren’t going to be obstacles in your path and that molding yourself into the person you want to be is going to be quick or easy. In fact, you are probably going to cry, scream, sweat, and possibly bleed. You’ve gotta keep this in mind…

You control your own actions and reactions.

Every single successful entrepreneur has come face to face with some kind of defeat and failure. The difference between them and the average joe is that they know who they are and they had the conviction to get where they wanted to be.
