“Sow a thought, and you reap an action. Sow an act, and you reap
a habit.
Sow a habit, and you reap a character. Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.”
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Growing into the best version of yourself begins with a vision. From there, you program your thoughts around that vision of who you want to become in each facet of your life—as an individual, a spouse, a professional and a member of the community. Thoughts lead to actions, pulling you forward into the future you are creating.
