Her motto is “you have one more day, to do one more thing, to change one more life, so don’t miss the opportunity.” What would happen if you start looking at every day as different, special, impactful, adventurous, challenging and life-changing? It would definitely get you out of bed in the morning. That is the power of purpose and living life each day on purpose.
