  It is easy to feel like we’re caught in a whirlwind of responsibilities, ambitions, and challenges. But certain principles can ground us, provide clarity and direction in our personal and professional lives.  Purpose, Intention, and Awareness are three such guiding principles that hold immense power. They are not merely abstract concepts; they are the bedrock of personal development and the foundation of a fulfilling life.  Let’s dive into these principles, drawing on a real-world example, the polarizing figure of Donald Trump, to illustrate their transformative potential.   The Power of Purpose Purpose is the cornerstone of a meaningful life.

Don't forget, there are many billionaires who die alone, unloved, or unappreciated. Success is not about money. Money is nice, but it represents that which is attracted to the right kinds of people.
