Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 729 of our trek, and it is time for our Mindshift Monday series.

The decisions we make today concerning the problems that face us will shape our future. This requires that we are in a continual mindshift mode to most effectively handle these problems.
Remember, the circumstances in which we find ourselves today are a direct reflection of the decisions that we made yesterday. The decisions that we make are a direct reflection of what we allow to enter into our mind.
