"I kept on complaining. I used to start crying on little marks, for just a mark up and down. So I was really emotional. But now I'm balanced."

"It was a very good experience for me because it said that if life is going on at a very normal pace, then you don't have a story to tell. So today I have a story to tell that I practice gratitude and that I experienced that self-transformation in my life."

"It's not about the idea of changing as a person. It's about the idea of changing your perspective. So you can be the best person for yourself and radiate that beauty from the inside to the outside world because eventually, someone's going to see it."

"One thing is, everyone has the same problem. Everyone is fearful of something regarding their past or present."

"And then when I tried to put it into practice, I found lo and behold, it was true! As crazy and as corny as it sounds, it really changed my life. And it changed how I view the world."

"I think you always have to hit rock bottom for you to really want to change anything. I hit that rock bottom. Our family business wasn't doing well, I was in the middle of a breakup."

"When I was one year old, my father passed. He was accidentally shot, and I know it sounds crazy, but it was by my mother."

"I have now defined what makes me happy; I am working on how to manage stressful situations in a better way; I continue to learn from my mistakes."

"Sadness was coming in waves to me and I realized that it's not about my best friend, my father, or anybody, it was about me."

"I can just hope that my example will inspire so many in this world to do the same."

"I think sometimes it's nice to have your own ways to deal, instead of just having a support system."

"I didn't change, nothing changed in my life, I still was unemployed, I still was struggling. But the way that I saw things changed, and as a result of that, my whole perspective changed."
