Recently, I listened to a Lewis Howes' School of Greatness episode (695) called Your Thoughts Will Heal or Kill You with Marissa Peer. A few main themes of the show triggered some areas of conflict I had been wrestling with personally in my life.

I've also tattooed this motto on my mind as I juggle my daily grind between the day job and the Perspective-Collective.
Today's episode is about responding to the punches life throws at you. Whatever happens, happens.
I talk about:
