Key Takeaways:
You can build a successful business and yet discover that it is not your calling and that it does not align with your passions and vision for your life.
At crossroads, ask yourself: can there be more to life than this?
Hitting rock bottom can be a blessing. When life seems to be going fine it is so hard to step out and look for areas of improvement. However, when traumatic events happen you have no choice but reconsider your life and ask yourself how things can be better than they are today.
Coming from a place of trauma, you can go into places that you could have never imagined.
The story you create is itself what creates your life. You have the ability to create any story you want for yourself. You choose what gets in your way and you choose where it can take you.
The person of power doesn’t wait for a decisive moment, the person of power is decisive in the moment.
Perfect happiness is not being attached to any outcome.
Remember, you can do ANYTHING:
“There are lots of people out there who suffer from mental illness that say I can’t do what I want to do because I am flawed and you know what, that’s just a story, it’s not the truth. The reality is that you can do anything you want to do, you just have to step into it.”
