“If you can build a muscle, you can build a mindset.”

“If we could choose, we'd always want to be in flow and thriving, but that's not realistic. Growth has levels, and learning how to navigate them is important.”

“When it comes to people I love and care about, I may condense the time, but I'm giving them every ounce of my energy. When it comes to creation, I block create and block focus on business.”

“I was at business school doing pretty well for myself, had a few offers from some great companies. But when I traveled across the world, I was shocked by just how much pain, struggle, and anguish people had to go through to have basic necessities.”

“I find that reading is a super important habit. It's one of the best ways to get centered, to find a new tool to play with, or to experiment with a new idea.”

“When it comes to time management, I talk a lot more about energy management. I try to give people 100% of my energy even if I'm giving them very little of my time.”

“Don't fall in love too fast. You think you know their dreams, but you just know their plans. Plans come from the head, but dreams come from the heart.”

“I absolutely love Dubai. I have such a great community of fans out there, who always show me so much love.”

“The interesting thing about overthinking and procrastination is sometimes they can actually evolve into innovation and creativity in the short term. Letting an idea grow in your mind in the short term with a deadline and a plan can actually lead to innovation and creativity.”

“My favorite way to learn is to speak to people who are already doing I want to do.”

“I create a lot of my content in one or two days for the next month because I can get really creatively inspired and then I can spend the rest of the couple of months thinking about other creative ideas but focusing on business, logistics, being effective, practical, and productive.”

“As a Millennial and Gen Z expert at Accenture I had the opportunity to host and lead several workshops and panels with key clients at industry events. The topics ranged from virtual reality to blockchain; artificial intelligence to machine learning.”

“For me, it's always about using my platform to give people an alternative narrative, because we all need to upgrade our mindsets.”

“Many of us actually feel the most loved when we're hugged, when we're embraced, and when we're cared for physically.”

“I shaved my hair. I wore robes. I slept on the floor. We meditated for four to eight hours a day.”

“But if you're doing something and you don't know why you're doing it, then it's good to reflect on the intentionality behind it.”

“Social media is not going away and we're not all going to leave our phones for good. But we can make sure we don't look at our phones in the morning and the evening, which is better for our lifestyle.”

“Instead of trying to get work, focus on your network. People will play a huge part in directing your growth and investing in relationships is critical no matter what you want to do.”

“When I became a monk, it didn't feel like I was giving up that much. I actually felt like I had made the best decision, because anyone who hadn't focused on building themselves up was the one losing out.”

“I think millennials have really made it their vision and commitment into life to really find themselves, to focus on what matters.”
