Because sometimes in reality things are going to be great and sometimes they're going to be terrible and you have to be in a position to deal with both of those states of being and not be disturbed, not be distracted from your purpose in life." – Robert Svoboda See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
