My Own Life Focus: Focusing Your Life for Greater Success

Most people start out their adult lives with clarity of purpose and a sincere mission and vision for their future. In short, they set out to change the world. But something happens along the way. We get bogged down with the details of life, the need to "pay the bills," and the hustle and bustle that threatens to sweep us away and steal our joy.
