NOTABLE QUOTES:

“Chronic medical conditions that are preventable and treatable should not be taking lives.”

“I am running after my own happiness, my joy, the feeling of ‘I am proud of myself.’”

“You can have joy even when you suffer. And you should use that joy to remind yourself that tomorrow will be better.”

“It’s very hard to work in that environment when everything is driven by productivity, not by real quality.”

“Pain absolutely starts with pain. If somebody wants to get to their purpose, I believe it starts with the most painful thing you’ve ever been through in your life.”

“You don’t want to have a robot as your doctor, as your coach... or whatever, right? You want to have a human that will be able to empathize with you and will be able to even take it to the next level, have compassion for you.”

“Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of people who know how to do that. Leading up is a heck of a skill.”

“Pain or challenges can be used by people as situations that help you to victimize yourself or help you to grow. And that is your decision. We decide if we are victims, or we decide if we keep learning and growing.”
