Interested or Committed?

Posted on: 05.30.18 | by Robyn Reis

We all have it ~ a list of things we'd like to do because it sounds fun/exciting/interesting/etc., but somehow, life always prevents us from doing them so they simply stay on our wish list.  But what about those items we absolutely, positively achieve no matter what ~ how is it that we can accomplish those items but not the ones we find interesting?  It Read More
