“I don't believe in the concept of 'meant to be.' I think people surrender too much of their life up to 'the powers that be.' You have the ability to create an amazing life as a single person. You can pursue the things you love. You can serve and lift others and make a difference in the world.

You will find the love of your life when you are living the life you love. Once you're in a relationship, it's your job to make sure that things are 'meant to be.' You have the power to create excitement and spontaneity. You have the power to show up every day and choose make yourself the most valuable asset in your partner's life.

If you find someone else who will show up for you as well, then you are 'meant to be'... whatever that means.”
