“This is the true athlete—the person in rigorous training against false impressions. Remain firm, you who suffer, don’t be kidnapped by your impressions! The struggle is great, the task divine—to gain mastery, freedom, happiness, and tranquility.”—EPICTETUS, DISCOURSES, 2.18.27–28

Being an artist you are rooted in both reality and fantasy. The artist meets themselves in this present moment and expresses it in all the ways.

God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

Talk to the universe. Ask for help. Then listen to your own heart. Because that quiet voice, the one in your heart, is how the universe talks to you.

I like to breathe before I speak or react is so important. Learning to not let the emotional mind be what responds is vital as a leader.

Success doesn't mean avoiding failure. Instead, think of failure as opportunities for growth, tuition paid, and learning experiences.

This is my commitment to my people: removal of their sins

HERO OR NERO! Are we being the king and a good person or a tyrant.

Lean into community, lose the ego, realize we are all art and artist!

Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever
