Show Highlights:

It’s important as individuals to understand what your stresses and recoveries are. My stress might be a recovery for you, and my recovery might be stress for you. -Dr. LylesIf I don’t understand where my power comes from–mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically–I might have power surges, which means I now have to do what I do at a slower pace to conserve energy. -Dr. LylesWhen you’re driven by passion and excitement, you’ll do whatever you need to do to make it work. -Dr. LylesThere is no success without failure, and the only failure is when you quit. -Dr. LylesMy first affirmation in the morning is: I am grateful for another day. -Dan MooreYou have to know why you want to do something, not just how.
