"Happiness is a decision that you make every single day when you wake up. It's linked to the gratitude that you have in your life. If you choose to be grateful for what you do have, what you'll find is that abundance follows, and you'll find that happiness follows." - Chad Foster

"I think it's important to be there in these experiences and in these moments and meet people where they are with empathy. But, it's also equally important for us as owners of our lives. I'm the owner of my life. You're the owner of your life. Your son's the owner of his life. We have to make a conscious decision." - Chad Foster
