Memorable Quotes"I realized that I didn't have any space. That's one of those big awarenesses and realizations. But also just, I didn't have a lot of gratitude. There wasn't space for gratitude yet I had so much to be grateful for.""Money is such a great mirror and such a great learning tool to create more awareness. By asking the question 'How much money is enough?' we can create some satisfaction.""Our narrative is in our story. To sum this up, it's what story are we in? We are the writers, we're the authors of our own story. We can change. We can write a different chapter."
