This world is too big to not explore. You could spend the rest of your life traveling and still not get to see everything this planet has to offer. That would be like the dream job to get paid to travel which I know some people that do. Traveling is just going from one place to another so based on your budget that could mean walking somewhere new, taking a quick road trip with a friend, flying out for the weekend for a quick getaway, or closing your eyes and traveling to your dream vacation spot in your mind. You have to experience new scenery, people, culture, food and fun. Humans are beautiful all around and I love to explore. Do something cool today and visit someplace new or plan a trip to take. Go travel the world and be safe! Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration. Feel free to share this message with someone to help me inspire the world one person at a time.

Have you ever wrote something down, forgot about it, then revisited what you wrote and it actually happened? That's the power of writing it down. Writing something down increases your chances of it being reality by over fifty percent. That is huge. Start writing your dreams and goals down, look at them when you wake up and before you go to bed, take the right actions and watch what you wrote down become reality. It's time to start writing.

To get massive results you have to take massive action. It's a principle not a respecter of person, so it doesn't matter about your work background, race, ethnicity, color, age, or sexual orientation. It's all a matter of going above the average and doing what it takes to succeed. Don't just be taking action to be active. Take action with direction, knowing what you what to accomplish. Are you providing a service or a product that one customer can purchase? Think of ways to get your product or service to ten people a day, then one hundred, then a thousand, and so on. Imagine how your bank account would be affected. That's the difference between making hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands or millions. I believe what I'm doing can have an impact on millions of people, so I'm working on a game plan to get it to the masses. Take massive action with a plan of execution and expect massive results.

Something you get handed freely or without any work or sweat-equity behind it, you will not value you it as much. My friend's dad bought his son a brand-new pair of Jordan's for school. On the first day the little boy came back home those pair of sneakers looked like they were worn for 8 months or more, just ridiculous. This teenager needed to learn a lesson, so his father decided that if my son wants something like some shoes, he's going to have to work and buy his own. That young man now appreciates the shoes he wears and any other thing he buys because he had to put some sweat-equity in it. Understand this principle because some people think they're entitled and things should be given to them. No, no, no it doesn't work like that. Sweat-equity teaches you ownership and responsibility. If it's worth it, you'll work for it and be thankful for it. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

One of my favorite books I've ever read was the Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen. It talked about the little things that you do every day that seems so insignificant over a period of time will make the greatest difference in your life. I took this principle and ran with it. Being positive everyday might be insignificant but over a period of time it can influence the world. What are the little things that you are doing every day that seem insignificant? Remember over a period of time it will have a significance. This principle works both ways so do overlook your bad habits. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

Take about 15 minutes to do this exercise. Close your eyes and create a theatrical play on how you want your day to be or the rest of your life lived out. Envision all the colors, sounds, and things you're going to accomplish. Grab a pin and pad if you want to capture it in writing. Be very descriptive in the production you create. Your mind is more powerful than reality because if you can believe it, you can achieve it. Visualize, materialize, utilize, and capitalize on this theatrical day.

Who are you is a popular question that is asked. Do you know who you are and have you taken the time to find out who you really are? It is important to know your identity because your identity gives you purpose. Then purpose gives you direction on what you should be doing. Last, purposeful direction leads you into living out your destiny. If you don't know who you are then you could possibly be dealing with identity issues, not knowing why you're here, no purpose. No purpose meaning that any direction you take is okay not knowing that you're ultimately forfeiting your destiny. That's why I'm here to help you. Your identity starts with your creator. Who created this world and everything in it including you? God did, so you need to go ask as God who you are, to find your identity, know your purpose, get direction, and live out God's perfect destiny that He has for you. How do you do that? The answers are in His letter that was left for us, the word of God also known as the bible. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. (John 1:1-3 KJV) Yes, I've taken the time to have a relationship with God through prayer, worship, and reading His word. I encourage you to establish a relationship with Him to find out who's you are and who you are which you are a child of God. Through reading God's word I would like to share with you… “Who I am in Christ”… Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

Spring, the beginning of a new season. Now is the time to arise, rise above your situation, circumstances, and problems. Show up and show out because you are more than what you think, I said it and God said it. You are the head and not the tail. Progress daily moving forward inch by inch because it's a cinch. Don't feel sour if you lost an hour, gain control of your time, and you'll hold the power. Shower yourself with positive daily affirmations and you will sprout up out the ground like the plants and flowers. Tell yourself I am special and theirs no one like me.

If you don't take a chance than you will always be left with the question of wondering what would've happened. For me I don't want to live life with any regrets. Yes, you have to be bold to take a chance and it is necessary to take a chance. Imagine where the world would be if no one ever took a chance. All the discoveries, inventions, ideas, anything dealing with creation would not exist. Life would be robotic and boring, waiting on someone's orders. We are given the freedom to do anything and some of the greatest stories told were when someone took a chance. What's that one thing you haven't took a chance on?

As you go about life you're going to have to encounter with people. There's a famous saying, “It's not what you know, it's who you know” that has some truth to it. The better quote is, “It's not what you know, it's what you know about who you know.” Your network equals your net-worth. We are six people away from being connected to 7 or 8 billion people on our planet. When you think about that you have to ask yourself if your connected with the right people in your life? With technology we don't develop relationships like back in the day because of social media and our narcissistic society. Work on establishing better relationships with people and actually taking the time to get to know them. You will be surprised by how your life could be drastically different if you had the right connections. Get connected! Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

You need a mastermind to come up with a master plan and it doesn't have to be you only. You might have outstanding intellect or know how to plan and direct, but doing something on a grand scale is going take more than one person. Having a mastermind group can be very effective because not only are you sharing bright ideas, each individual in the group has something to contribute to the table collectively making an idea become a genius plan. You are only one idea from changing your life completely. At the end of the day it's overwhelming trying to do everything by yourself. You need a team of masters to execute whatever master plan you'll create. I have people in my life that I bounce ideas off to see if it's worth implementing and creating this was actually one of those ideas to pursue. In regards to the publishing, marketing, and other important things I can go to my team of masters to get that master plan resolved. It's ok to think independently, but to take things on a greater level you will need a team of masters. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

Is there any clutter in your life, at home, your vehicle, even at your work desk? Well, it's time to do some sorting. Having chaos in your life is a direct reflection of disorganization. Look at all your relationships and rank them from a scale of 1-10, 1 being they're bad for you and 10 being they're good for you. Anyone ranked under a 7 you should minimize your time with. Let's look at your home, is it in order? Go through each room; the kitchen, living room, the bathroom(s), bedroom(s), and all closets. Straighten each room up. Go to your vehicle, wash it and vacuum it out. Don't forget about your work desk if you have one. Bring some organization to these areas of your life and you will be able to function a whole lot better. We all are in this journey together so it's time to sort. Anything that you don't need cut it out, don't be a hoarder of useless junk or relationships in your life. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

Do you know someone that's predictable, that you can call out their every move? They do and say the same thing almost every day. They wake up in the morning and turn on the news, make some coffee, go to work and talk about what so and so did, then after work off to happy hour, and last back to the house to take care of home duties. Maybe that predictable person is you, your coworker, sibling, spouse, or boss? There's nothing wrong with that, but every once in while you have to switch-it up. Life can get super boring because the same thing happens every day. You have to know when to be spontaneous. In a relationship a couple can lose interest with each other if they don't keep things fresh and new. Look at the things you do every day and see if you can switch-it up.

The definition of work-ethic is the belief that hard work and diligence have a moral benefit and an inherent ability, virtue or value to strengthen character and individual abilities. It's also a principle that hard work is intrinsically virtuous or worthy of reward. My dad instilled in me a work-ethic like no other at a very young age. If I was mowing the lawn, sweeping up scrubs on our sidewalk, cleaning the basement, training for football or whatever… I represented him and he would always want me to do the right thing and a good job. That small principle that was taught definitely made a difference with the jobs I'd worked at because several people would praise me for my incredible work-ethic. “Hustle until you no longer have to introduce yourself!” Let's go to work.

When you have something to aim for, it gives you direction to look to. Then your able to focus your energies on hitting the target set forth. In business, a company has a certain product or service they offer. It's not for everyone, they are only looking for their target audience. Which is the demographic of people that are most likely interested in that product or service and willing to pay for it. Mercedes Benz is a brand known for luxury vehicles. It is available for everyone, but they are looking only for a certain group of individuals that are looking for their product and can afford it. Making a perfect match. In life what are you aiming for? Is it to start a new career, get back in school, save $10,000 this year, pay off all your debt. When you have a target, it is specific and the more detail you are, the easier it is to obtain that goal. What does the work look like when you have a target? I'm going to take the example of saving $10,000 in one year. ($10,000 year / 12 months / 4 weeks / 7 days) That's approximately saving $833.33 a month, $208 a week, and $30 a day. You need to evaluate how you manage your finances and pay yourself $30 dollars a day. What area can you cut back on spending that you know your wasting? List all the reasons why you want to save this amount of money. Ask yourself do I need to pick up another part-time job to reach my target? Do whatever it takes to exactly have a clear-cut plan to follow. [Ex. I make $3,703 a month after taxes or $1,851.5 bi-weekly. I pay myself first than I budget my expenses after. So, I give myself ($833.33/2) $416 to put in my saving account every two weeks.] When you plan the work next you work the plan. Let's hit our targets.

When you look in the mirror what do you see? How do you see yourself? What images come to your mind? What are you saying about yourself?

[If you are not familiar with this story in the bible, I recommend you to read the entire chapter of Exodus or at least Exodus 13:17 – 14:31] Exodus 14:21-22 (NIV) reads, “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.” The significant of this passage is that Moses had everything he needed to carry out the assignment the Lord has given him. In verse 15-16 ‘Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.' God has equipped you with everything you need to be successful. You have to keep moving forward. What's in your hand meaning, you have to use what you have been given. The rod Moses had in his hand was ordinary and he stretched it out. Getting out of his comfort zone, through his obedience God showed Himself strong by delivering the Israelites from the hand of the Egyptians. What looks normal to the eyes of man, God can use it to do extraordinary things. Don't overlook what you have. Look how God is using my gift to inspire you. What has God commanded you to do? Keep moving forward and stretch out! Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration. Feel free to share this message with someone to help me inspire the world one person at a time.

“The fortune is in the follow up,” a business term that's so true. As an independent contractor, a market associate, and sales consultant for varies companies I would have to prospect for new clientele every day. Building rapport with individuals, collecting their names, contact information, and emails. That was the easy part. Next, I would call them twice, if no answer leave a voice message, text them, along with an email and do this several times throughout the week until I received a response. I'm sure I may have bothered a few customers but I was relentless about the follow-up. In result of this method, I usually was the top income producer. Most people don't want to do what it takes to be on top. “The fortune is in the follow up!” What projects have you started, what phone calls need to be made, text messages, or emails need to be sent for business or for your personal life? It's nothing wrong with checking up on someone or something. If you dropped the ball just follow up. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

If you ever watched or played poker there is a term used “all in” which means that a player has put the last of their chips into the pot. Now with the hand you were dealt with in life, are you all in or in other words are you 100 percent committed to what matters the most? Spiritually how's your relationship with God? Health wise are you eating healthy along with proper exercise? How's your relationships with your spouse, children, parents or siblings? Financially, do you have good credit, how about an emergency fund set aside, a life insurance policy, or living will? These are a few questions to ask to see what areas you may be lacking in life. There is nothing as powerful as a made-up mind. If you really want to see breakthrough spiritually, financially, physically, or whatever realm in your being, then you're going to have to be all in. Give your whole-heart to those things that matter most in life and watch you experience breakthrough. As a child my curiosity wanted to dibble and dabble into everything especially when it came to playing sports. My parents' rule was if you start something you have to finish it. My eight-grade year I wrestled and there were times I wanted to quit and because of my parents rule I made up my mind to commit to finish wrestling season. Even though the outcome may not have been what I expected, the lessons learned were priceless. I ended up doing really well and I'm glad I stuck it out. With this simple story, I use this same principle in life in regards to being committed with what I want to accomplish. Be all in. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

“Never stop doing what you are doing young man!” Those were the words that made me come up with a positive theme every day. It was a beautiful Tuesday morning and I was working valet Downtown. I get paged to bring a CEO's vehicle up to the front of the building. First, I retrieve the keys at the valet station, then take the elevators in the lobby to the basement where his car is located. Next, I drive the automobile up to the front and patiently wait with a smile for the owner to come down and get in his car. Last, I open up the driver's door for him and say, “Have a terrific Tuesday” as he is about to head in to work. Now lunchtime comes around and he comes back to his residency for a quick break, pulling his vehicle up to the front. I greet him again with a smile and open his door. He says, “Never stop doing what you are doing young man!” I'm not sure what he's talking about. Then he explains, “When you said have a terrific Tuesday, your voice was ringing in my head. I got to work and started telling my employees to have a terrific Tuesday. It was like a ripple effect of a simple positive saying changing the outcome of everyone's day.” When I heard that my mindset shifted from being a valet driver to someone that's going to use this position as platform for speaking. You never know what you might say to make a difference in someone's life. Have a terrific Tuesday! Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

We all have some kind of procedure or formula in place when accomplishing or approaching something. What is your method in living life to make every day count? How do you go about your day not knowing how it will turn out? How you do one thing is how you usually do everything. Answering these two questions gives you an idea of what your method in life consist of and where your mindset is at. Here's my answers: Everyday I wake up, I look at it as an opportunity to be a blessing to someone, making a difference so that they would be inspired to live out greatness! When I inspire you, I know that I have impact in your life and know it counts as a good day to me. Also, I choose that every day will be a great day based on this formula Jack Canfield mentioned in one of his books I read. (E + R = O) E stands for the events that happen in life that we have no control over like what the weather is going to be today, what skin color we were born with, or who your parents are, etc. R stands for your response which you have 100% control of. O stands for the outcome. So whatever event I encounter I make it up in my mind that I'm going to have positive response and the outcome will always be in my favor.

We are spiritual beings having an earthly experience. The natural and spiritual are alike. Without food we can not survive. On average we are recommended to eat three meals a day and that's something we do naturally. I don't need to force you to eat because the consequence of not eating you will die eventually. Without knowing God, it is very hard to survive in this life we live. I used to eat six meals a day when training for football. I was determined to be the best and my body needed the nourishment to sustain. If I was discipline to eat naturally six times a day, surely, I could be discipline to feed my spirit man daily. What are some spiritual foods you can feed your spirit? Great question, I'm glad you asked. You can set aside some time to read the word of God, pray in the morning and throughout the day, also listen to worship music to help sustain your spiritual being. These daily tasks will help you with strengthen your relationship with God. I use to starve my spirit man and my flesh would get the most out of me because it's uncontrollable. With a stronger spirit I am able to put my flesh under subjection. Spiritual growth is a daily discipline and there is no excuse to not feed your spirit. Every time you eat don't forget that your spirit needs some nourishment too. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

What's something that you always wanted to start? Is it a business, a social club, non-profit organization, a new family ritual or tradition like getting together and eating pizza every Saturday, you know? Well this book is all about action and new manifestations. It's time to start that thing you always wanted to do. Start with writing it down, getting a book on that subject, doing some research, masterminding with a group, creating a vision board, just start somewhere. As you start going after it all the other missing pieces will come along. It will be an adventure, but at lease you can say I try that idea that was in my head. You only live one life and you do not want to live with any regrets. Start-up your engine and get going. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

In America you have the freedom to do or be anything you want that's why it's called the “Land of opportunity.” Do you really understand what that means and the privileges you have? A lot of people from different countries want to get citizenship here just because of the freedom and opportunities that are available. What I've observed is that most born Americans take this for granted and the foreigners take it way more seriously because they can't do things we do. I've traveled to different countries and it was a huge eye opener. I have no right to complain because we have it good over here. With the freedom that you have what are you going to do with it? Don't take it for granted, appreciated it and make the most out of the opportunity. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

The power of your testimony can have a huge effect on someone else's life bringing healing to their soul, giving them inspiration and information, or building their confidence and faith. I'm going to share two short stories about me that I believe will help you somehow. When I was 18 months old, I fell out of a window at my grandma's house approximately two stories high hitting my head on concrete. My older brother that's a year and two months and three days apart noticed “a bleeding doll outside on the concrete” which were the words he told my grandmother. My grandmother seen that it was me and immediately called 911 so I could get rushed to the hospital. When my dad first saw me from that horrific fall he said, “The knot on my head was as big as a dinosaur egg.” From the magnitude of the drop, I should've died instantly. I was unconscious for many weeks and best-case scenario I would live as a vegetable meaning I'm totally brain dead. Physically I would grow normally and as far as my brain my mental development was completely ruined. My dad being a man of faith prayed and said, “God you gave me this child and he's here for a reason, let your will be done.” God did a miracle in my life and my brain is functioning just fine. In elementary school I definitely had a problem with English literature. It was very hard for some reason and it was my least favorite subject. I think I was slow; I would get picked on and laughed at about reading, writing, and speaking. I struggled through middle school, high school, all the way to my early twenties. Through hard work and dedication, you would never know I used to be on hooked-on-phonics, stuttering, and couldn't comprehend, now reading and writing are my best friend's.

The way you live life is a witness to someone else. Are your actions aligning up with what you're saying or are you saying one thing and living a different way. I'm been guilty of living two different lifestyles. Every day is a working progress and being aware I make it an effort to live out the things I talk about. People are always noisy and always trying to catch you slipping. Live your life the best way you can and know you are a witness to someone else. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

Time is your most valuable asset. Out of all the resources available in this world you can't get your time back. An average person finds ways to spend their time. A wise person finds ways to use their time wisely. It is a limited resource and it is imperative for you to master the way you use your time. The big question is what did you do with your time on this earth so far? Many of us has traded effectiveness for busyness. Just because your busy doesn't mean you're effective. Ask yourself are you really being effective or is your life cluttered with all kinds of stuff that demands, drains, and taxes you from being your best self? On the average, 80% of the things we do are busy things that are in an area that's not effective. 20% is allocated to doing the thing that we are gifted at, passionate or excited about. Imagine how life would be if you focused 80% of your day or time on what you were created to do and 20% on things you have to do. Every day we have 24 hours or 1440 minutes or 86,400 seconds. Time is currency. Manage your time with discipline by creating a schedule that's productive. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

It all starts with you. Do you love yourself? That is a simple question, but really think about it. Are you happy with yourself and are you happy with your life? What do you tell yourself every day? Do you feed your body with foods and drinks that nourish it? Who are the people you hang around and do they love and encourage you? How do you treat people in general? Do you compare yourself to others? What are you holding on to that is stopping you from moving forward? There are many questions to ask and no one is going to love you like you. I believe when you love yourself completely, you'll notice a shift in your life. Certain things you will not tolerate because you know deserve the best. Be happy with yourself. Tell yourself positive daily affirmations. Eat healthy, exercise, and schedule regular health check-ups. Spend time with yourself to know your strengths and weakness or what you like and don't like. Treat yourself well, maybe taking a nice vacation, eating at a nice restaurant that you would normally not go to, or give yourself some spa treatment. Self-love is a process and it starts with you each and every day. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

A freeing Friday is more on liberating your heart and mind. Proverbs 4:23 says “Above all else (highest priority), guard your heart (your heart is your soul that consist of your mind, will, and emotions) for everything you do flows from it (what's in your heart is where your life will lead).” Everything you do flows from it or another translation is for out of it springs the issues of life. Issues meaning boundaries, limitations, or stagnation. Your boundaries in life are not the product of your background, education, or race (by themselves). Your boundaries are what is in your heart. If you want to change your manifestations, limitations, or boundaries, you must change your heart. If you can't control your mind than you can't control your destiny. Make it a decision to dedicate quality time for your life to changing the way you think. Line your thinking up with the word of God and you'll experience true freedom.

Sometimes you have to award yourself. Maybe pour yourself a glass of (something good whatever that may be), toasting to it saying, “I am the man or I am the woman.” Maybe put on a crown of some sort on your head and walk around the house with it or give yourself a medal or make yourself a plaque. Then tell yourself over and over, “I am the man or I am the woman.” Positive self-talk makes you validate who you are, who you are becoming, giving you self-esteem, and makes you look at yourself totally different as a champion. You deserve a trophy for making it this far in life. Celebrate your success. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

A fairy tale mindset thinks like this, “I'll sit on my butt and wait, everything I've imagined will fall into my lap.” The way I used the word wait in that sentence implies to stay, or to be, in expectation or readiness. We all know everything we have imagined won't fall into our lap. There are somethings in between that need to take place for you to get what you imagined. If you know your waiting on something then you should be getting prepared. Here's an example, a woman says “I'm waiting on my husband.” If she is not getting prepared, having her own place, taking care of her own bills, knowing how to cook and clean, saving her virginity for her husband instead of thotting around than the chances of her getting wife'd up are very slim. “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” It doesn't say, “He that finds a woman...” The woman is a wife before she gets married because she is preparing for her husband to come. Whatever we are waiting for we need to be getting ready for it. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity, increase your chances by being prepared. Wait on it.

The truth will always set you free. The day was very slow while working at one of my jobs and either me or my coworker could leave, still getting paid for that day along with anyone not noticing; management or customers. Well, I stayed and the other person left. Now the next day I was pulled in the office to get questioned about yesterday. I shared with management the truth admitting I was in the wrong and the other individual told another story. The end result was I still kept my job and the other person was terminated. Because of the truth I received a second chance. Be truthful. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

It's sad that negativity spreads at least eleven times faster than something positive. On the news or radio the majority of the reports are about a death or injury from a crime scene of some sort and rumors about so and so did this absurd action. When we have a bad experience, we tend to share it to family, friends, or even a random person before we say something good to them. Today is about saying or doing something nice and kind. Having an positive effect on someone is way more attractive than bringing someone bad news. Let's focus our energies on promoting positive and let that action have a multiplying effect on others to do the same. Thank you for coming to this station of inspiration.

It's useful to have a social life cultivating new and healthy relationships with your peers. Network in areas of your career and various organizations. Your network equals your net worth. It is extremely important to surround yourself around awesome people that are heading in the same direction as you or that are further in life than you. Bring the best out of each other and always have good times. Life would be boring all by yourself, so make the most memorable moments with the people you socialize with.

We have friends, we have family, and we have both which is framily when friends become like family. I have two biological brothers and one brother-in-law totaling three amazing brothers in my immediate family. Then I have a whole bunch of bros that I kick it with like family. They all play a significant role in my life, some I'm closer to than others and overall, we are all cool. Having a social group that's like family is beneficial in my life, ultimately giving me a sense of belonging and a place I can be free. You can't should your family but you can select your framily.

You are worth it, just know that. You are valuable and precious. Know your worth. Sometimes when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we say more things that are negative than positive. Also, we let other people's opinions get to us. At the end of the day there are only two things that matter: 1. What does God say about you? 2. What do you say about yourself? “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 You are worth it!

There's always a lesson to be learned, otherwise you will encounter the same problem with different people, at a new location or whatever.

Do you have anyone in your life that you can help mentor? It does not matter what area in life. Everything you have been through or experienced is not just for you. There are plenty of people that could benefit from your knowledge. If you are in the position to help someone else or others keep your eyes open to find you a mentee.

Having self-discipline is tough. Mastering oneself, controlling emotions, and getting things done no matter the circumstance. If you can discipline yourself you will be able to accomplish anything you put your mind too. Here's a proverb that's helps me with discipline and I believe this will help you too. Proverbs 29:18 – Where there is no revelation people cast off restraint, but blessed are those who heed wisdom's instruction. In other words: Where there is no vision, the people perish. (Perish does not mean to die or be destroyed. It means to lack self-control or discipline. If you don't know where you're going any road will take you there.) The reciprocal of this proverb is also true: Where there is clear and strong vision, the people prosper. When there is a vision of conquest, the people conquer. Where there is a vision of adventure, the people will live daring and exciting lives. You can make your life be anything you want it to be and it beings with vision!
