“If you want to be happy you have to study people who are happy. You have to hang out with people that are happy. Life won't go in the direction you want, by simply trying to stay positive in a life you're not happy with. You have to know what you want and why you truly want it so badly. When you figure that out then you need to change your current identity, in order to fit the type of person you envision would make those dreams come true. Happiness is not reliant on the actions or inactions of other people. It is your “courage in motion” toward your dreams.”

Ron Baratono
“So many people think having a partner in their life validates them, it does not. They speak of the other half without realizing they are whole, and validation can come by being independent and self-reliant. When that day comes where you find a person that you truly believe, together you can make each other happy, then that’s your calling.”
― Ron Baratono
