SELECTED QUOTES:
“Making change is super addictive. It’s essentially a dopamine hit. It’s like drugs. So when you do it once you’re like “I gotta do this again””.
“What I’ve learnt is that the highest level of personal happiness, personal fulfillment, is to be of service to others”
“People are awakening all around the world at the same time. Especially in the last year. Because something is happening. The entire Earth is awakening”.
