“Many times when you have that inkling or that idea, and you just start to pursue it, it'll start to gain clarity each step of the way..”–Troy Horne
“So we definitely have to be careful with our words and even when we're trying to give positive criticism or constructive criticism. We still have to be very careful with the way that we voice things. ”–Troy Horne
“Your subconscious mind as crazy as it sounds can't understand "don't do whatever", you only hears "do whatever," which is weird as we are like conscious being.”– Troy Horne
“It's about consistency. It's about always showing up. It's about continuing even when you don't want to, and those are messages and lessons you can use in life as an adult.”– Troy Horne
