Hello everyone and welcome back to the show. Thank you all for the continued support. Special thanks to all the brave men and women who protect us everday working in the criminal justice field. It's a very difficult environment. Keep up the great work. Steve Jobs once said " Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life." Unfortunately, most of us do. We are afraid to act and go for our dreams. We are terrified of what people might think or say about us. The only thing we have in life is time, and we can control what we spend our time on. If you have that dream of writing your book, or starting your business - DO IT! Take that first step. Every great journey requires that. In this episode, Patrick talks about 10 reasons why you should go after your dreams.  This is a great article from the Huffington Post. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/elyse-gorman/10-reasons-why-you-should_4_b_6214706.html Do you love coffee?
