Memorable Quotes

"Gandhi articulated this understanding when he said, 'I have so much to do today, I must meditate for two hours instead of one.' It seems counterintuitive, but establishing yourself within a grounded mindset allows the rest of your day to be even more efficient."

"Too many entrepreneurs are taking their health and relationships to the sacrificial altar of success, thinking they have to live an either-or life. It's actually a yes-and life."

"Stop paying attention to how much time you have and start making decisions about how you want your life to be. If you're willing to do that, life will reorganize and accommodate."
