Takeaways of Note:
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.
