"You need to face the facts and never lose the faith and just keep taking the next step." - Dr. Erik Korem
"Thriving sometimes is just taking the next step. It doesn't mean that you're just crushing life and that, you know, we don't have to walk around like everything's perfect all the time." - Dr. Erik Korem
