The perpetuation of truth moving forward in discipline  is so powerful  for a life of a positive, powerful outlook and change in your life that it's not underestimated. So please write down a note, write down your to-do list, take an action, and then build in the discipline so that you get to that other side and you get to experience the bounty. ” - Darin

    “I feel like a lot of people treat the quality of their life and their standard of their life to say whether they treat their health and their kind of nutrition, that it's just a given that it's always been this way that it's always going to be this way. And they don't think that they have to control the power over changing their environment, changing the people they hang out with, you know, the products that they buy. ” -Maxime
