We are all familiar with the adage, life happens. Well, when life happens, it speaks, and when life speaks it has a language all its own.  Sometimes it speaks through trials, sometimes through triumphs. Mountaintop or valley, wherever you find yourself, whatever age or stage in life, everyone needs to be encouraged.  Whether you have a seat at the boardroom or the kitchen table, you have a burning desire to be fulfilled. You want to attain meaningful goals. You want to realize your dreams. In other words, when life speaks you want to respond with clarity, confidence, and a sense of purpose.
