Don’t strive directly for success.
The more you focus on it and set it as your goal, the more likely you are to miss it.
Success, like happiness, can’t be pursued; it happens naturally. It’s a byproduct of working hard toward something bigger than yourself.

The instant you let someone make you angry or sad, they gain control over you.
- Stay calm.
- Choose to respond, not react.
Always keep your feelings from taking over your thinking.
The biggest financial choices you make aren’t about money…
- Who you marry
- How you care for your body
- How you use your free time
- Who you spend time with
Nothing costs more than bad habits and bad friends
Choosing to stand alone rather than settle for bad company is a truly powerful act, often underestimated. If you had the strength to put yourself first, I respect and admire you.

Lessons I Wish I Knew Earlier:
1. Even if you trust someone, it's okay to keep some things private.
2. To create something meaningful, you must accept and handle criticism.

Embrace the challenges you face. They help you grow stronger, wiser, and more grounded. Don’t let them defeat you. Let them shape you into a better version of yourself.
I asked a millionaire for advice, and he said:
1. Build your own opportunities.
2. Money brings who you want, struggle who you need.
3. Never go back to a cheater.
4. No purpose, more distractions.

Wrigley’s was known for selling soap.
Colgate first sold candles.

Where you start isn’t where you have to finish.
Stay patient, keep moving forward. Remember, big things often come from small beginnings.
Keep being the one who doesn’t give up.
After failing...
After feeling frustrated...
After being let down...
After feeling tired...
After experiencing heartache...
Keep being the one who gathers the courage to trust that trying again can bring a new result.

Everything happens for a reason, and without struggles, how would we ever understand our inner strength?
It’s only through difficult times that we realize how resilient we truly are, and how much we can handle before we finally reach our breaking point.
It's important to remember that:
Tough times won't last forever, we will make it through, and there are people who genuinely care. Life can be hard and full of pain, which is why treating ourselves with kindness is essential, not optional.
When you're unsure of your life's direction, it's time to focus on yourself.
Become the healthiest, happiest, and most confident version of you. Heal, grow, and be present in the moment.
As you improve, the right path will reveal itself naturally.
