Life is short.  And, given the limited duration of our journey on planet earth it is almost mystifying that we spend so much time trying to seek validation from what we command, control or acquire when they are meaningless when we die.  What remains, what lives on after we leave is the energy we have shared, the relationships be have built, the love we have exchanged and the value we created in the lives of others remains.  And, to me what is our greatest challenge and our greatest hope and strength is being able to unclench our heart, open our minds, engage our spirit to build and align the mind power, emotional intelligence and the power within (our 3Q’s) that makes a great brand, a great life and a great legacy.

Can we buy client, customer and stakeholder engagement and loyalty?  Can we buy the relationships that sustain success?  Can we buy happiness?  Can we buy peace of mind?  Can we buy the sense of profound fulfillment that comes from raising the bar, from stretching out of our comfort zone to make a positive difference in the life, or lives of others?  Is not the timeless formula for success creating value for others, and what does this really mean?
