Memorable Quotes

"Don't desire for a billion dollars. Ask for a billion dollars of responsibility. Ask to see a problem so big that it requires a billion dollars to flow through you and then become the solution for it."

"Responsibility isn't some burden that you don't have time and energy for. Responsibility is the act of assuming the ability to respond."

"God doesn't give you situations that you don't have the ability to respond to. Everything that flashes across your perception, no matter how big or small, no matter where it is in the world, it's flashing across your perception because you have it inside of you to take responsibility."
