Inspirational
Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and abilities were used in a way that served others. You're in business to spread love. Your screenplay should spread love. Your hair salon should spread love. Your agency should spread love. Your life should spread love. The key to a successful career is realising that it's not separate from the rest of your life, but is rather an extension of your most basic self. And your most basic self is love
- Marianne Williamson
