KEY LEARNS

“If I say I can’t do something, that means I won’t do something”

“I asked questions, because my mother always told me like, there’s no question that is stupid. It’s stupid, when you don’t ask – A closed mouth doesn’t get fed!”

“You’re here on this earth for a purpose. Everyone has different gifts, find what that gift is. Then we serve one another, we uplift one another.”

“ There’s a phrase that’s out there that says, ‘Fake it until you make it’. Well, my motto is ‘Faith it until you make it’. So I don’t fake anything. Everything’s real. What you see is what you get.”

“This is a motto that I live by -’The sky’s the limit when creators in it’. What does that mean? “There’s no ceilings on our dreams at all” “Be kind, kindness opens doors for you.” “Whatever you want in a person. Be that first. If you want friends. Be a friend. If you want respect, give respect. If you want love, show love. So you have to be it first.”

“I don’t always get it right. But all the errors that I’ve made, I’ve learned from my mistakes. So in order for you to be successful, there’s many mistakes that you’re going to have to make, even sometimes financially, which really hurts.. But it’s a learning curve of life. So you have to be able to live with change, because that’s what’s constant. Think of changes as riding the wave, because if you were trying to go against that wave, you’re gonna get hurt, you’re gonna be falling and drowning a little bit. You know, you don’t want to deal with that. But you want to ride the wave. It’s life and just embrace it all. Embrace it at every level.”
