I touched on it a few entries ago, but I wanted to take the time to expand on my Project Lion Mind plan. I am someone who thrives on challenges. I really love the process of having to rise and do things that I think I can’t do. I didn’t challenge myself enough in... Continue Reading →
Inspiration follows action.
"Because inspiration follows action" I keep reading this statement from the gentlemen over at IHD and for a while I wasn't sure if I agreed. I believe so deeply in the power of the mind and how, if we can increase our self awareness and then start to build resilience and grit then we... Continue Reading →
Pursue your potential!
Pursue your potential! Our motto. It took us a long time and a few iterations to settle on one that would actually stick. Finally, we found the right one...or maybe it found us?

Lion Mind Challenge #6 ‘Body Language’
