Positive Growth

I have been listening to Dr. Diamond for less than a couple of months and have gained inspirational stories from what he has shared. From what he has learned from being in the trenches to what he has learned and shared from having guest speakers; this podcast has given me a different view on life as a whole and all the reasons to be grateful and happy then to worry about the little things and focus on what matters...
