Memorable Quotes:
“So case in point, a lot of this stuff that I do, it gets easier, never easy. It gets easier. I'm constantly putting myself into the position of the unknown. I'm constantly pushing and to anybody out there that suffers, they know what I'm talking about. And it's just a choice. You have to make a choice.”
“I think that the way that we make a difference authentically is when somebody or something has made a difference in your life and you pay that forward and help somebody else with that. I believe that's what our calling is, is to take the things that have helped us and help other people pass it on, pay it forward to others.”
“I've learned this along the way, and this is what I teach other people to do on a big, big scale is this concept of the obstacle is the way. You know, one of the only ways that you actually can prove that the universe is aware that you're contending for something that you're going after something is if it is challenging the hell out of you.”
“Everybody's trying to be right. I chose to be kind versus right, and that's an open space. So I love naysayers, you know, without naysayers, then what would the other side look like? Without darkness, light wouldn't exist.”
