It's so important to remember that we all have choices. The difference is that some people make the wrong choice and others let life go by without making any choices.
Knowing this, make sure that you are the cone to make your choices.

I keep finding favorites from Lou's posts. I'll bet there are some successful people in business or their personal lives who came to a point in their lives where they had no idea what would happen next.
They had to go forward, and when they did they would rely on their faith to move them to the next step.

This has to be one of my all-time favorite sayings from Lou...

We all make mistakes...no one is perfect. The key is to learn from them...analyze what you did or didn't do, then move on and move forward.

We Texans love our food and no place (except Houston!) does it better than Austin. Each Friday, Dorie shares with us a new or favorite Austin area restaurant.
