Quotes:
- “I think about how uncertain life was a year ago. The virus was on the way, social unrest was on the way. It’s just that, because we didn’t know it, that didn’t make it any less uncertain, it just made it less of a focus.” – Andy Andrews
- “If you worry a lot, focus is not your problem, because worry is focus. It’s just focusing in the wrong direction.” – Andrew Andrews
- “If you believe that this is the worst time that has ever happened, and this is the worst thing that could have ever happened, that becomes somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy, because it tends to make us lay down, do less, feel like the verdict is in.” – Andy Andrews
- “So much of life is a decision.” – Andy Andrews
- “We forget sometimes, the purpose of analysis is to come to a conclusion. It’s not to continue to analyze.” – Andy Andrews
- “It turns out that forgiveness is a decision. It’s not an emotion. But we treat it like an emotion, which is why it drags us around like a dog on a leash.” – Andy Andrews
- “It goes well beyond money or things, but it’s the key to achieving anywhere near your potential, and that is to become hugely valuable to other people.” – Andy Andrews
- “Products are commodities, but relationships are really the true treasure.” – Derrick Kinney
- “They created a situation in their lives where there was nothing to do by persist without exception.” – Andy Andrews
