What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

“It will never rain roses — when we want to have more roses, we must plant more trees.” This advice reminds me that we are responsible for creating our own happiness. It has taught me to invest my time and energy into the things that bring me fulfillment and joy, and to maintain a positive outlook on life. 

What’s something you’ve accomplished that you’re especially proud of? 

Climbing the Grand Teton, despite a strong fear of heights. The experience was both physically and mentally demanding, and it was humbling and empowering at the same time. It reinforced the values of perseverance, sustained effort, and stepping outside my comfort zone to accomplish something I didn’t think I could.
