Why does purpose matter

My background of growing up in a military environment plus early involvement in church institutions and my experience in working in five large companies and living in four countries will influence a lot of my writing. I will also draw lessons from football and golf which are two games I enjoy playing. I titled this welcome to the Lion's den simply because among my football friends,  I am known as the Teranga Lion. I look forward to sharing every week and an opportunity to rub minds with anyone looking to get better every day. Have a beautiful week and kind regards, Alex Goma aka Teranga Lion
