Quotes From Lewis

If you're not applying the lessons you've learned, and you're not integrating [them] daily, week after week, month after month, year after year, you will fall back into an old pattern.

  • "I hope I live a very long, healthy life—that’s my intention. But if it is over today, looking back on where I am today, am I proud of how I showed up?"

  • "The more we take these things personally, the more it just holds us back from our gifts and putting ourselves out there."
