- We can control our emotions by giving ourselves time to feel and acknowledge the feeling before we respond.

I work best with malcontents and contrarians who strive to overcome their own bullshit in order to achieve meaningful goals.
“I think everybody has the potential within them to be a leader if they so choose it. We have to dedicate the time and the effort along with the energy to doing it.” –Perry Maughmer
