Success requires living proactively, not reactively. You can\\u2019t be reactive to accomplish your dreams. Dreams require an intent with a plan, goals, and execution every day on those goals. When someone says, \\u201cYou can\\u2019t do that!\\u201d do you return the challenge, \\u201cNo, YOU can\\u2019t do that! Watch me go do it!\\u201d When you are fired up with grit and determination, anything is possible. But what do you do when a bus stops you dead in your tracks? Do you keep plowing forward, or do you retreat? Aaron Walker did it all \\u2013 sold a business by age 27, found financial security, got bored with money and went back to work for greater accomplishments. And then he was hit by a proverbial bus \\u2013 or rather, he was driving the car that hit someone else. What do you do when the wind has been taken out of your sails? Dig deep for the grit and determination, just like Aaron.
