               Life has been designed to move through
               consistent processes.  We always have
               the same number of hours in a day, days
               in a month and months in a year.  Time
               consistently moves forward, with the
               same rhythm. Seasons move from one
               to the next slowly and steadily always at                                   At Corporate Shuttle we

               this process.  A steady rhythm we cannot                                    a pleasurable journey

               create success and growth, BUT over-focus
               on results can cause more harm than we
