It’s that time of year

With each New Year comes a new sense of renewal. Renewal of hope, renewal of goals, and renewal of inspiration.

It can be difficult to keep in the mindset of actively pursuing hope, goals, and inspiration. But, to keep in said mindset, we often look to successful people who have blazed the trail before us for advice.
