Quote

The Challenger: Defiant Power of the Human Spirit

I will not be a product of my circumstances and chances, but a product of overcoming my challenges with my choices.

Let the defiant power of our human spirit ignite our Will to Meaning and Will to Living Life! It's your choice to be a victim or a challenger.
