Standout Quotes from Doctor TK:
“I don’t want you to ever think that anxiety is bad. It’s only bad if you don’t know how to control it.” 

 

“God may clearly have had things aligned in our path and we have to make the choice (if we’re going to go down that path), but even if he has it waiting for us, I’m sure he loves it when we talk back to him through prayer.”

 

“Your goals should not necessarily be New Year's resolution goals. They should be lifetime goals broken down into yearly goals, that are then broken down into 90-day goals, and finally, be broken down to everyday goals.”

 

“If you can’t stop your thoughts, that’s you telling me that you can’t control your mind.”

 

"Everybody should have a book published after this COVID19 era. Everybody should have a story to tell."
