Quotes:

"Healthy experimentation and shiny object syndrome aren't the same things." - Patrick Menefee

"Anything that you want that's going to be worthwhile to drive towards creating the life that you want is going to be difficult, or you've at least gotta be able to go through something difficult." - Patrick Menefee

"People need to have a strong enough 'why' to push through when things get hard, especially if they are comfortable. Without a purpose or fulfillment, chasing money alone is not enough to sustain motivation and success." - Patrick Menefee
