“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intel­li­gent peo­ple and the affec­tion of chil­dren … to leave the world a bet­ter place … to know even one life has breathed eas­ier because you have lived.  This is to have suc­ceeded.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lance writes sto­ries from his heart, aim­ing to inspire and moti­vate, as you align more fully with YOUR true peak. When he’s not here, you can find him hang­ing out with his fam­ily, rid­ing a bike, or just gen­er­ally act­ing goofy.   Sign up for the Thoughts from the Tree­house newslet­ter and get addi­tional inspi­ra­tion in your email inbox!

    I LOVE the pic­ture and the quote. The pic­ture because I bought it last year and it is on a shelf over my head everynight. I guess suc­cess hov­ers over me as I sleep each night!

    Wow, love that quote. Espe­cially the part about “win the respect of intel­li­gent peo­ple”. Fan­tas­tic. I am always hon­ored when smart peo­ple read com­ment on my blog and I love it when they (YOU) write awe­some blog posts.
