“Success is never owned; it is only rented. And the rent is due every day.”

When was the last time you had a really tough day? Have you ever found yourself saying things like:
- After all these years, I expected things to be easier.
- It’s time for my ship to come in. Surely I’ve earned it with all my hard work.
- I’m pretty tired. I was hoping to slow down by now.
- Life sure feels like a roller coaster.
