INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:

\u201cWhat becomes so important during a time like this are two words: self-regulation, the ability to calm your own nervous system, to take good care of yourself.\u201d \u2014 Tony Schwartz

\u201cThe question you want to be asking yourself when you start to get frustrated or angry is \u2013 \u2018What am I afraid of?\u2019\u201d \u2014 Tony Schwartz

\u201cAdult development is something that can continue to happen all through your life, and one of the most powerful mechanisms for that is to develop that self-observer, that capacity to stand back from your experience and observe it without reacting to it. Because, when you can do that, then you can make a decision, a choice, a deliberate choice about how you want to show up.\u201d \u2014 Tony Schwartz

\u201cThe most virtuous quality overused becomes a liability.\u201d \u2014 Tony Schwartz

\u201cThe only way to actually navigate the world gracefully is to hold both a positive quality and its opposite, but its positive opposite.\u201d \u2014 Tony Schwartz

\u201cEducation without implementation is merely entertainment.\u201d \u2014 Brian Buffini
