Wise Quotes about Jobs

Life is unlimited.

are strengthened and empowered to help.
We can help each other to all be winners.
We can all have food, and jobs, and love, and happiness.

And most important, have the courage
to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.

Not just today, but EVERY DAY for the rest of your life!
