Quotes:

“When you’re trying to control everything, you feel like you’re out of control; you’re not in control of anything. The more you force it, the less in control you feel.”

“I didn’t get extra hours. Nothing became easier. I had to work with what I had. Every day for two hours I work and focus on my personal business.”

“Time waits for no one. If you’re not intentional with your time, it’s going to get away from you.”
