Module 2 Overview
Essential Heartprint Question:
Are you an inspiring person with the day-to-day energy required to be fully engaged in your work life?
We cannot dream of a utopia in which all arrangements are ideal and everyone is flawless. Life is tumultuous – an endless losing and regaining of balance, a continuous struggle, never an assured victory . . . . Every important battle is fought and re-fought. We need to develop a resilient, indomitable morale that enables us to face those realities and still strive for every ounce of energy to prevail.
