Chapters

I think a lot of greats like Walt Disney, we don't always talk about the hard times that they had. Right. And how many times Walt failed along the way, but just kept going. He wasn't the greatest artist. He wasn't the greatest. He wasn't the greatest businessman. He didn't even graduate from high school. Right. And so. But he just was relentless in his perseverance and his belief in his vision and what was possible. And he got knocked down so many times, and he just kept getting back up and try again and try again and try again. And I think it is. It kind of goes back to our conversation about purpose, that when you have this strong purpose and you can connect it to your vision of where you want to take that purpose, it will get you through anything. The hardest challenges.
