I do not believe in competition. Many of us are busy chasing rainbows, hungry for fame, power, and money. I prefer simplicity, and am happy to live in my world, where I can authentically define the scope of my efforts and views of success. There are three tiers to my life’s achievements: family, health, and happiness. It is important to keep our true identities in view and not become caught up in materialism or the facades of power and fame. Why give importance to these superficial considerations? What truly matters is to love and be our best at whatever we undertake. Such is my definition of happiness.
Here’s to your Health and Happiness !
From my Passion to yours,
“Life is not about finding yourself, but creating yourself”
Nicky Dare, Founder of iDARE®, Inc., is a skilled, goal-oriented entrepreneur. Spanning over thirty-one (31) years, her illustrious career in international management consulting, leadership, team, and relationship-building in corporate environments is an outgrowth of her time-honored commitment to excellence, loyalty, dedication and integrity.
