Quotes:

“Regardless of what you’re going through right now, regardless of what you’ve been through in the past, you have the ability to take control and take charge right now.”

“We can’t control so many of the things that we go through in life, but we can control what we tell ourselves about it or how we interpret it.”

“No matter what you go through, you can learn from it and you can take that wisdom and apply it to your life so that you feel happier and stronger.”

“We are not open to negative criticism but we are open to constructive feedback.”
