*So I wrote this piece specifically for my newsletter subscribers (Those who join my email list get articles and other things that I don't publish anywhere else). I ended up getting a lot of responses from people about the email saying they have shared it with others. So I figured I would republish it on the site so those of you who are interested can have a read. Now, I sent this email out before the end of 2014, so the New Years references are a little outdated. But the message still serves its point.... Enjoy!*

I now know that hard work, dedication, loyalty, and a host of other tiresome clichés don't matter all that much. I'm so passed the "self-motivated" quotes.”

Reader, let me tell you, I can understand your frustrations.

In this life, we have a choice; taking the safe route, that is more clearly defined and has fewer obstacles, or taking a chance and taking the road that is less traveled. This road is not paved. It has grooves and ruts and debris. Sometimes it gets very thin and its hard to tell how to continue. Sometimes it gets rained out and you can’t see the road at all and have to move forward on instinct.
