Aaron Shelley explains the meaning and application of momentum and
values to families and businesses. He and his friends always seemed
to be primed for
success. He grew up in a suburban neighborhood with ten boys who
became his friends. They went to the same church and schools while
also participating in the same scout troop. He played sports in the
street almost every day. He regularly played video games and board
games together. Each family had about the same amount of money and
had two parents at home. He and his friends were living the
American middle-class lifestyle. After high school, each went their
separate ways. He learned his best friend's parents divorced two
years after high school. As he grew older, he went to college, got
married, got an engineering and business degree, had four kids, and
started a business. One friend became a lawyer, got married, and
then got divorced. One had six kids, serious health issues, and
worked a blue-collar job for a logistics company. One started his
own construction company and had four kids. And one was sentenced
to life without parole for the rape and attempted murder of a
twenty-year-old woman. How can lifestyles be so different when they
seem to be the same?
