Life’s Best Medicine According to Steven: “Be true to yourself. You have got to know what you want and why you want it—how to get there safely. When you want to make a decision there’s three things you’ve gotta do: first, it’s gotta be safe to do; second, it’s gotta be healthy; third, it’s gotta make you happy.”
