We must to be honest with ourselves about what gives us joy in life so we can create an environment where we can thrive. Ultimately, what matters most is that you have some sense of purpose for why you’re living, that you’re achieving something that seems important to you, and that you enjoy the process of doing it all in your day-to-day life.   WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… Marshall emphasizes that here is no magic moment when everything in life is going to be great. The uncertainty of life’s ups and downs are about the only thing we can count on, so instead focus on the one thing you can control – your outlook on life.     Running time: 31:58 Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Instagram   Find Marshall on social: Website LinkedIn Twitter Instagram   Marshall’s Book: The Earned Life
