Thoughts on inspiration
Posted on 25 March 2017 | filed in Freelancing Leadership Self Development
Change is, of course, inevitable: we have children, change jobs, buy houses, experience loss, fall in love, separate, make mistakes, have successes, become responsible, learn to drive, lose loved ones…the list is pretty much endless.
