Look no further than this easy read for camaraderie in the constant practice, discipline, and enjoyment of this thing called life. And get some insight into making peace with your past and finding the answer to any hole(s) in your life.

1. Live your life and enjoy it, despite the busyness that surrounds you.
“No one is going to hand you a medal at the end of this because you ran faster and harder than everyone else. The point is to enjoy it. That’s the end game.”
2. When looking at your past, in order to keep moving forward, what will you allow to be a foundation, and what will you keep as a shaper of your character and simply that?
“The past is always with us. But it doesn’t have to drive all of our decisions. Scars or not, you need to live your life.”
3. Trust yourself in the moves, the changes, the choices, big & small that you decide to make.
“...do what you want to do... It’s easy to make decisions to please other people...It’s often easier than figuring out how to please ourselves.”
4. At the essence of what matters.
“With love, it’s not the why that matters. It’s the how. It’s the millions of ways we reach out and connect with the people we love and try to make them happy and protect them from harm.”
