Mike Love
American Musician
I know there's millions of problems in the world, but if you dwell on those, then you're going to be miserable. I think my meditation helps me to transcend and get beyond the grip of all the negativity and regenerate from within a more positive attitude, which comes in very handy when you're going to do 150 concerts a year.

And the only way you'll get it is by forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head.
