Memorable Quotes
"We can't grow without stress. And we also know stress really isn't the enemy. The enemy is the absence of recovery to some degree."
“Energy, not time, is the most powerful resource we have. When you're energized by something, you find the time, you take the time, it all expands for you. And when you're depleted, you could have all the time in the world, and it doesn't matter."
“Incremental success beats ambitious failure. Even choosing one or two things that you can start to bring into your life in a way that you feel like they could be predictable and routine, then you get to a higher level, right? You get to another plateau, and then you revisit it from there."
