    • It all begins in the mind. Thoughts manifest in our reality. Constantly seek to make amends and improve the way we think.

    • Fear is a fraud. Face the big lion of fear and turn it into a pussy cat.

    • Practice gratitude and be enthusiastic about life.

  • Weed out your closet. Decide what’s really important. Figure out what your really good at and do it really well.
