“I Sell Peace for a Living. Some Days I Can’t Find It for Myself.” I thought I had found freedom. I walked away from corporate life — left the security, the salary, the predictable ladder.My marriage ended.Most of the money I’d made over a lifetime was gone.Some through bad choices, some through risks that didn’t

For most of my life, I believed discipline was the key to every change I wanted to make.Twenty times I tried to lose weight.Thirty times I tried to quit smoking.Hundreds of promises to myself that this time I’d stick to it.
