  • Take ownership of your personal growth and self-discovery.

  • Deeply understand this truth: the past cannot be changed. All we have is the here and now. So free yourself, forgive yourself and liberate yourself.

  • You only fail if you quit. No matter the uncertainty always keep moving forward to discover or rediscover your future. It will not come looking for you.

  • Be the architect and designer of your own life and career.

  • Focus on what is essential. Never become too busy to spread kindness, sunshine, and positivity everywhere you go.

  • Become the CEO of your mind. Your life is no better than your relationship with your mind.  

  • Listen to learn while unlearning to relearn.

  • Your happiness resides within.
