The one change they can do is spend 50 years…change their thoughts. They can take all the action they want to, but if they don’t change their mind, everything is futile. You want more of a productive life. You have your health you have your wealth. You have everything within and again a better life is having health, wealth, purpose, relationships, and a spiritual connection.

Walt Disney once said ‘You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway’. Do you agree?
