If you're a starter, a creator or a change maker, and you want something new in life, or out of life, it's time to learn who you are, and aren't. Before we build up, we need to really dig down. Every day I'll discuss a Zen saying or quote and we'll see how it applies to you and your new venture. My hope is that we'll learn somethings and unlearn other things. Let's have some fun!
