Video Script

Hi, I’m Randall, and I think all of us from time to time maybe struggle emotionally, uh, with friendships and others, and sometimes, we make bad choices that lead us in the wrong direction in our lives, and I think sometimes just like the old barn behind me, we have to rebuild certain aspects of our lives.

And number one, I think we need to have and find good friends that share the same values. Number two, I think we need to establish positive goals. For example, just getting exercise is a great way to reduce stress.
