Hello everyone. Welcome to Dear Alice. Today we are answering your questions, the listener questions.

I love these. I love these episodes too. Also because we don't have to do as much prep work.

Yeah. It's kind of like a vacation. So yeah, send in all questions because we have opinions that we want to share with you. It's kind of like a vacation. So, yeah. Send in all questions because we have opinions that we want to share with you. It's kind of just rapid fire and off the cuff and they're fun and easy. And we get to connect with knowing what you want to know, which is great. Which is the reason we started the podcast in the first place. Exactly. Yes. Should we just jump in? Yeah, let's do it. First question is from Ashley. She asks your favorite quote that you live by. Oh, Ashley. A non-interior design question. We're getting deep. Okay. Do you want to go first? Well, I was going to say, I have a couple. Okay. But one of my favorites of the design center, one of our team members is really darling and optimistic

and she's like the spirit leader.

If there was a head cheerleader of the design center, she would be it.

Yeah.

Yeah, Nick.

So Nick often, if there's ever a situation we're trying to work through, she always says,

we're lucky and everything goes our way.

And it's amazing how when you say that out loud, especially in a sticky situation, it reverses you out of the sticky. And you start believing that everything's going to be okay.

Why that I usually live by? Continually think about. And I tell this to my kids all the time when

they start to whine. Only you can make you happy. Not your brother, not me, not your dad or anybody. Only you can make you happy.

So again, kind of a reversal of your mindset, right? You have to kind of shift and be like,

okay, if I want to be happy, I got to make me happy. So what's going to make me happy? You know,

and then you switch your behavior. So it's amazing. Only you can make you happy. Yeah. You know, and then you switch your behavior. Yeah. So it's amazing. Only you can make you happy.

Mine, I don't know where I got it from has been a long time, but I've been implementing it for over 10 years and I try to do my best. But it's make choices based in love, not fear. That was a problem I noticed in myself that I would be like, I'm going to do it because I'm afraid if I don't whether it's

like taking a new job or whatever this situation is I always tried to like go with what I love

and not with what I'm afraid of. And so far so good. You know what I mean? I have a wife and two

beautiful kids and that was choice based in love. So yeah. And I'm here with you guys.

You know, come on. Good life be better. Yeah. Thanks, Ashley. That was really fun. Great way to start
