Life Quote by Henry Cloud

“If you find passive leanings in yourself, begin looking at how costly this has been for you. Look at the opportunities missed, people who moved on, and places you never went. This may be painful, but it will help you to start moving out of the “on hold” position in life.” quote by Henry Cloud
