Memorable Quotes:
“The beliefs that we have, the truths that we have about ourselves aren’t even ours, and that’s a starting point...look at those and release it and say ‘okay that isn’t mine!’”
“It has to be a choice; if we want things to go a certain way, we have to choose it.”
“Whether you have 5 dollars in your account or 5.5 million or 5 thousand in your account, we are equal. We are the same, and the only time you’ll feel different is when you’re spending time comparing yourself with other people out there. We are supposed to be different.”
“As we wake up each morning, in truth, we’re not sure what’s going to happen the next day because that’s actually out of our control. But what we have control over is our choices.”
