“We are souls and we are created to contribute. And if you don't contribute something that matters to you, then there's something missing.” – Ken Coleman


“Clarity leads to confidence. And confidence leads to courage.” – Ken Coleman


“To experience something of significance, it is only significant because of the difficulty of the journey.” – Ken Coleman
