Quotes
“Rock bottom creates some of the most freeing experiences, and the mentality of freedom.”
“Never be afraid to hit that rock bottom low. That’s what’s going to produce the most creative juice and eye opening clarity for you in your life.”
On spreading yourself thin: “If you are doing that, it’s not telling the universe you’re trusting any process. If you truly trusted yourself and the universe, you would trust that whatever is feeling good, and fulfilling to you, well… that’s the indicator. That’s the indicator that you need, you’re on the right path, and the path to success.”
On language: “The language of obligation creates these barriers and a caged theme to life, instead of an opportunity, which it really is.”
“The repercussions of waiting are going to outweigh the repercussions of actually taking that leap, 10-fold.”
