Power Quotes From The Show

Everything Constantly Changes

"Every moment we come across, every single circumstance, is a balance and it changes constantly. So we can live by certain principles that we go about our daily life, but it actually empowers us to remember that every situation is going to be different." - Dr. Jenelle Kim

The Power of Choice

"We always have a choice. We can't control anything in this life except for ourselves. Things are going to happen no matter what we think we can do. There is a lot that is not in our hands, but what we can control in this life is our response to it." - Dr. Jenelle Kim

Expand Your Mind

"When you expand your mind, when you increase your perspective, you can see more clearly. And when you can see more clearly, you can balance with situations that come your way in a more effective manner." - Dr. Jenelle Kim
