A Life-long Commitment to Change

Chapter 1-forecasting the future-is about assessing your current situation right before making this lifelong commitment to change. Chapter 2-seeking and finding necessary human, social, and financial capital for success-is about situating yourself among others who are more experienced, resourceful, and genuinely interested in opening a door for you to walk into or a window for you to climb into. Chapter 3-making a lifelong commitment to change-is about envisioning the future you see for yourself and digging your heels in, knowing you may have to adapt, rethink, or change course along the way to achieve what success looks like for you. Chapter 4-moving the goal post with purpose-is about satisfying the whole you, physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally, as you grow through your accomplishments and setbacks; you are not the same you five or ten years down the road, and goals change. Last, Chapter 5-legacy building and torch passing-is about leading by example and paying forward the blessings of a steady paced race; the blessings that keep on giving include sharing knowledge, resources, and access, modeling an example of how to soar upward and onward, and planting seeds that eventually lead to a garden full of the next generation of beautiful, bright, and unapologetically bold leaders.
