Every day that we take a step on the journey that is THPL we are reminded that to get going, to get the best of what we can get to that day, to enjoy the journey, requires that we have to be present, we have to decide to move, we have to take ownership of what the journey is to become. There is no proxy for what we need to do – we have to pull ourselves up from the “boot straps” and make it happen. Waiting for someone or something to happen will not get us where we need to go. So, let’s make sure that we do indeed take ownership for what, and who, we want to be and how we want to live, and let’s start each day with a big hard tug on our boot straps. We will ultimately like the feeling and truly appreciate the results that come when we get it done.
