Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Craig Nathanson
''The world works a little better when we do what we love"
"Your heart knows what you want most in your life; Your mind knows too but can be influenced by others. Learn to follow your heart"
"Think deeply about what you want and why. If you know the why, the how will come"
"If you believe in yourself, other people around you will too!!"
"Don’t settle for a comfortable life working just to pay the bills. This is a wasted life. Find your own work which best fits you. This is a jou ey which you must take alone if you wish an authentic life. Otherwise you will waste your life just working to work"
