“People may spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is leaning against the wrong wall.”

- What ladder are you climbing?
- What do you hope to see when you reach to top of the ladder?
- Are you living a life with your ladder leaning against the wrong wall?
- What changes do you need to make to correct the climb of your life?
