  • Best Quotes
    01:06 - 01:14
    • "Your reason for doing a lot of things are external validation or approval or for the feel good dopamine hit."

    02:13 - 02:27
    • "If you can become the source of your own approval, for example, or the source of your own validation, when you do then go out and into the world in, in many ways, your approach to the world is a lot more resilient."

    02:39 - 02:53
    • "The Masonic symbols and, and all of the work we do in Freemasonry or, or that's available to us in Freemasonry, I wouldn't suggest we all do it, but the work that's available to us in Freemasonry is to open those doors and start to really evaluate the causes of your own behavior."
