"Stop just cheering for others who are living their visions. Commit yourself to your own success and follow the steps required to achieve it."

"You change your life by changing your heart."

"Actually, I jade very quickly. Once is usually enough. Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more."
