“Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world… If you want small changes in your life, work on your attitude. But if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm.” - DR. STEPHEN R. COVEY   God made us with innate gifts that are so powerful in making an impact for ourselves, our families and our communities.
