Is that really what makes you whole?

"I think having the intention around, what is it that you want to do, and really being honest with yourself. Are you doing it for this reason, or are you doing it for that reason? And does that fulfill you? Is that really what makes you whole? And a lot of times, we compromise to have that image and vision of what we think success is, and that success might not be fulfilling to us."

We can extend both vertically, horizontally, diagonally, spiralled. It's not linear, success. It takes you by surprise.

“Maybe it's time to go to another ladder or to take another little walk on that plateau you're on and find a ladder you want to continue climbing. I don't think it ever ends. I don't think it's like, that's it, we've achieved the pinnacle, and there's nowhere to go. Because we can extend both vertically, horizontally, diagonally, spiralled. It's not linear, success. It takes you by surprise. That's the serendipitous moments that you should always be at.”

Cultivate the relationships with women in your life because they will bring you through life.

"We forget that to build and cultivate relationships with women, it's about intentionality. It's about taking time and effort to build relationships, because the women in our lives will see us through our lives. They will lift us up when we need to. They will check us when we need to be checked. They will send us the flowers that we deserve. They will hold us through the gnarly and the scary and the dark, and they will also show us the way."
