“Be here now.” - Rev. Dr.Jane Galloway

Key Takeaways:

“We should all continue to evolve.”

Many people come into spiritual communities for all kinds of reasons and most of the time it’s not for seeking a spiritual path.

Branding yourself is important because people decide within the 1st 2 minutes of an interview or an audition if they want to work with you.

“We can only live in the moment.”

“We have no control over other people’s perceptions of us.”

Operate by attraction and not promotion.

Wisdom resides in the now.

Age doesn’t define your level of contribution to society.

Show notes

Some use condescending criticism instead of true constructive criticism.

Key Takeaways:

Network as much as you possibly can with others.

Poetry can take you into another universe.

Some use condescending criticism instead of true constructive criticism.

When you are going through depressing times and don’t accept professional help, you are doing yourself and your loved ones a disservice.

Not everyone will understand your vision.

There is nothing wrong with going to therapy to talk about your issues.

Successful people don’t have time for criticizing others and spreading negativity.
