Some Inspirational Quotes from the episode
It’s really easy to get fixated on everything else around us but remember ‘it all starts with you’
The only thing you have control over is your intention: your attitude, how you interpret events. You don't even control your own health.
You can tap into a purpose that's bigger than yourself
Where your passion and your talent intersect, that's where you really want to focus your life
