Quote of the Day

"Our sweet spot is that place where our greatest passions meet our talent and abilities. Finding your sweet spot often means a messy process of learning how to embrace the God-given talents you already have, rather than those you wish you had. And sometimes finding your sweet spot means taking a wrong turn or even failing. Don’t let the fear of falling short deter you. Your sweet spot is there, even if you haven’t found it yet. And in the end, it’s exactly where you need to be."
- Ruth Soukup
