Leadership Matters!

“Everyday we have a choice. We can choose to be positive or to be negative. We can choose to be grateful and see the good in all that we have or we can let anger, fear, doubt, and insecurities rob us of our joy and the life we’re meant to live. The choice is yours today.” - Jon Gordon
