Quotes

"Well, a big one for starters, that holds people back, is negative mindset, right? And that is a daily practice in combating because it involves limiting beliefs, it involves past experiences; that internal negative chattering dialogue that, if we are not careful, can self-sabotage our future." [2:02]

"The best way to monitor your thinking is to write it down – to keep a journal. You'd be surprised what your thoughts are when you really start to become aware of them. And then once you have the awareness, you need new information to be able to shift your mindset." [2:51]

"Ultimately, everything you need is inside of you. It's like people chase for the outside, for dreams, for happiness, if I just achieve this one level, then, I'll be happy. Happiness comes from within" [23:18]

"Work on yourself. Connect from within, because when you do and give all that you know, show up on your authentic self, and you put your best foot forward, the universe will meet you where you are at and things will start to flow." [23:36]
