"Achieving your childhood dreams. The 3 P's; Purpose, Passion/Potential, and Procedure. Purpose is wrapped up in your potential Without purpose life has no meaning. Ask the question - What does life expect of me. Understand purpose and live your life to fulfill your potential. You have hidden powers that needs to be cultivated."
