14. Complete this sentence: "One year from now I would like to...have that formula for success you spoke of in number 12. As much as I could rattle off a list of goals, none of it means anything without happiness and good health. Things don't make you happy. Accomplishments don't make you feel successful. I know this from personal experience. If you're not spiritually grounded and centered, you'll spend your entire life striving and wondering why you're never satisfied. As long as I'm growing, I'm going to feel good about how far I've come when next year arrives.
15. Sum up your personal philosophy.
"Never live your life by other people's standards." I think I'm quoting myself there, but it's what I've lived by. I noticed early on that I was on a completely different page than everyone else around me. Had I listened or done what others did, I'd still be back home in Greensboro North Carolina. Instead I'm in Hollywood doing radio, television and films.
1. What is your biggest accomplishment?
My biggest accomplishment, I would have to say is traveling around the world in my twenties with the group "Up with People". During my time with that organization I learned how important it is to understand other cultures and how difficult and rewarding it can be. Working with a group of students from over 30 different countries, traveling with them through the United States and abroad and helping them to process their experience and learn how to give back to the communities they touched was so inspiring.

"Choose your battles" Know when to lay the gauntlet down and know when to walk away.
