- Your life is happening RIGHT NOW. Not this weekend. Not when you’re finally in a relationship. Not when you get your dream job. It’s happening now. Find joy and happiness in the everyday moments of your life. Start enjoying the present.
- What if it all works out? What if it’s all worth it in the end? What if it turns out better than you could have ever imagined? Entertain that thought.
- There is a difference between people who see you in their free time, and people who free their time to see you.
- Can’t. Stop. Watching. Thank god my dog can’t do this or i’d never be able to leave the house.
- Start late. Start over. Start scared. Start again. JUST START.
- Give yourself a break. You made the best decision you could with the information you had at the time. You’re human.
- Stop overwhelming yourself with the next five years. Focus on the next five minutes, the next five hours, the next five days.
- You’ve heard me say this a million times: you’re never going to feel ready. Do it anyway. Just take the first step. Forward is forward.

- You don’t have to be married by the time you’re 30. You don’t have to be an entrepreneur. You don’t have to have kids. You don’t have to do all the same things your friends do. You don’t have to do anything except live in a way that is authentically YOU.
- My biggest pet peeve is when people say, “I’m not a quitter.” Because here’s the truth ➡️ Winners quit all the time. If you try to “stick it out” through something that isn’t aligned with your values, your happiness, or who you truly are… You’re actually losing.
