NOTABLE QUOTES:

“We all have a secret detective skill where we’re searching through this filter of whatever our trauma was, or conditioning, or mimicry of our past.”

“Our emotional state really does dictate the quality of our life, and what controls how we feel controls us. This is why marketing works.”

“If your emotional state dictates the quality of your life and controls you, then you would want control of your emotional state more than anything else in your world.”

“There’s no negative thing that could happen to you that you won’t get value from when you actually let it happen.”

“You are not depressed. You are unfinished.”

“You’re not broken; you’re totally whole. You just have some things that are blocking you.”

“Self-esteem is earned. Self-confidence, self-trust, and self-respect are all earned.”

“Your purpose is the best of what you have to help others. That’s it.”

“If everyone is not in the right seat, then nothing is going to work. You can have amazing people on your team, and all of them in the wrong seat, and you’ll never be successful.”

“You’re gonna have to go through the absolute worst pain you’ve ever felt in your entire life, but when you work through that pain, purpose is on the other side of that. Purpose is always on the other side of that pain, but we have to be willing to work through it.”

“You wouldn’t have an enemy if you were humble.”

“Humility is the secret to healing and to a really easy life.”

“You can make emotions objective; you can make them not a big deal at all. And when you do that, you’re tricking your brain.”
