It’s not how long you live, but how you live that’s important. Therefore, don’t make your life just livable, make it memorable.
Life wants you to serve something more than yourself. When you serve something more than yourself, you are served. It’s the most ironic thing in the world.
We surround ourselves with what is better or see other people as role models. You go, “If they can do this, so can I.” That starts to trigger people, as well.

I don’t mean to sound corny, but it’s one word: results. If you get results, you can get anyone.
The one common denominator of all successful people is their hunger to push through their fears.
