Fly N By is right-a sponsor is just another drunk who was sponsored by someone else. None of them are perfect.
The HP was something that I struggled with and also thought was ¨out there¨. But I followed this suggestion: write down 5 things (more or less) that your personal HP believes in , or a few ¨non-negotiables¨ that your HP stands for. Whether it lives deep down inside you or not is your business, not your sponsor´s.
Keep up the good work!
