Greetings, Summit Leaders.

There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother or sister.

What a joy to experience life with a true friend! If you have someone that you can call your "best friend" you are rich beyond measure.
Reaching our full potential as a person and a leader requires a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

I often reflect on how enriched my life is because of my best friend, Rob.

Our relationship grew over 40 years to become one of the greatest treasures of my life. I know you most likely have a "best friend" and are experiencing

the benefits of having someone so close that your hearts and spirits are aligned. How can two people walk together unless they agree?

As I reflected on my friend Rob, I recalled some of the rewards of having a friend like him. As we think about the power of a "best friend" I hope you

have someone you can call "best friend." If you do not, make it your goal to become that person to someone. We reap what we sow, later than we sow.

Here are just a few of the many blessings of having a best friend and the impact it can have on your life to help you accomplish and become all you were

created to be and do.
