Show Notes

  • When you are mindful about your own balance in life, you reduce the chance of your mess falling into someone else’s path.
  • Being self-sufficient allows you a greater capability to help others, as you can’t pour water from an empty pitcher.
  • The most valuable investment you could make is in yourself. You only experience life through your own perception. You’re of little use to the world if you do not develop yourself towards your potential.
