• The thriving person has made up their mind that whatever comes their way will be conquered;
• The thriving person has made up their mind to go after what is rightfully theirs;
• The thriving person has made up their mind that victory is imminent!
Let me ask a few questions:
• If/when you lose your job, do you stop living?
• If/when you lose a loved one, do you stop living?
• If/when you lose something near and dear to you do you stop living?
No! You understand that it’s all part of the life cycle we’re in and you keep living!!! There are some who feel that life is ov ...
