"'To be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over. It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it'."
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
"We control the controllables. We control what happens to us as much as we can. We control our attitude, we control our thought process. There's a lot of leaders out there who I talk to who are struggling and a lot of leaders out there who are ambitious and ready to take on the world. But no matter what, that storm is going to roll in. You're going to hit those waves. And whether it's big or small, I think this is going to help a lot. So to both of you, thank you for helping put this beautiful thing together, and I'm excited for people to get their hands on Calm in The Chaos, to hopefully make a change in their lives for the better.
