I’m told that there are a great many people from around the globe that believe this to be the case.

Recently my family and I spent two weeks on the beautiful island of Jamaica. Every time I go to Jamaica I am blown away by the amazing people and stunning scenery, but the scenery and people are not why I am writing this.

We already know that time is important, we are aware that we should manage our activities in the time that we have been given, and we also know that growth is important.

What got you to where you are, isn’t going to get you where you want to go. Growth is one of the very important keys to achievement, and conversely, to failure.
