You. Stronger.
Life is beautiful . . . and stormy. Sometimes the storms of life are of our own making. Other times we get hit for seemingly no good reason. Either way, we need a plan not just to survive, but to thrive! There is a way to live a tall life – a life of meaning – even in tough times. I’ve spent my entire professional life developing some key pieces of advice to endeavor upon this journey.
A tall life begins with a strong foundation. These are our roots. Deep roots require us to become intentional about our core values, character, and critical relationships. This site is full of knowledge on root-strengthening.
Then . . . we can become wise by wondering about important things, find our calling by evaluating where our passions and talents collide, develop our talents and financial life, and bolster our reputation and legacy.
This message applies to everyone. In other words, if you are alive . . . a deep roots: TALL LIFE philosophy is for you!
“A tree with strong roots can withstand the most violent storm, but the tree can’t grow roots just as the storm appears on the horizon.” — Dalai Lama
