  3. Find your joy! Doing what you love and following your passion leads to joy and happiness.

Quotes

“It’s not only about living longer, but the quality of life is more important than the length of your life. The whole picture starts to come together.” [6:09]

“When you love people, love them, even if they’ve hurt your feelings. Try to pour love on that person because if you can’t find love for yourself, by giving love to someone else, it will come back to you. It opens your heart to give love.” [11:18]

“One of the biggest issues we have with health is the choices we make, particularly around food. When I get a good night’s sleep, I make better food choices. It’s just a fact. The simplest, most base-level around health is what we choose to put in our mouth. If I make better choices when I make sleep, then sleep is the first marker for me.” [13:55]
