Memorable Quotes
"If you do more of what you love and less of what you don't like to do, you're probably going to have a better day."
"If you're not growing, you're dying. If you feel stuck, if you're frustrated, you just got to switch it around and say, 'What's going to make me grow a little bit?'"
"If you understand the things that you enjoy in your life and you make it a point to do at least some of those things every single day, you're going to be at least somewhat happier."
