So how do you learn to know what you don’t know? Start by asking yourself: What don’t I know? What do I want to learn more about?


1. Perception is Reality – affects beliefs & how we live life; creates bias as much as understanding; creates fear as much as curiosity.

2. Everything is Temporary – so when we’re up, enjoy it, bask in it, be grateful for it; when we’re down, know we’ll get through it.

3. Importance of Being Present – take time to reflect & to prioritize the future but spend the majority of the day in the present… moments turn into memories.

4. Do what you love, love what you do – only you can get in the way of living every day doing what you love.

5. Being Happy Takes Work – Being happy means at some point you decided to take control of your life. Whether it’s letting go of ego, or forming more self-loving habits…it takes practice.
