Takeaways:

Pursue your passions and define success beyond financial terms to find purpose and fulfillment. Look for ways to serve others through your skills and gifts.

To foster healthy development, love and discipline must be balanced through consistency, boundaries, and mentoring the whole child rather than just behaviors.
