Extraordinary Insights:
"Choose to make every day the best day that you can. It’s waking up in the morning, feeling good about what you’re going to do and get excited about it. You can choose to have a lousy day. Choose to have a good one if you can, really go for it. I like to get up every day and I have all these kids I want to impact. I have my two kids that I want to feel loved and be loved. I want to give them that, and my partner. It’s an excitement. If you’re going to live, make the best of it. "
