As a person chasing greatness, I live by some core principles, most of which were adapted from the behaviours of my grandfather:

1. Action is the antidote to anxiety. Thinking, planning, or talking about doing the thing isn't the same as doing the thing.

2. Weird will always win. Normal actions guarantee normal results.

3. Discomfort is the cost of growth. The lonely, uncertain chapter is the rite of passage for anyone chasing greatness.

4. Faith is built through self-trust. If you break promises to yourself, consistency doesnt compound into confidence.

5. Every attempt that doesn't work is still forward motion toward the one that will. Even if you dont win, you can lose better.

6. Criticism and Insecurity kill more dreams than incompetence ever will. This roots at taking advice from people living lives you don't want.

7. The magic you seek is in the work you avoid. What feels boring and uncomfortable is often where the real progress hides.

8. Passion is created, not found. You fall in love with what you become good at through repetition and resilience.

9. Never multiply by zero. Avoid self-destructive choices that can erase years of effort, hedge your downside.

10. You can be anything, do anything, but not everything. Trade-offs are what define excellence and build your character, pick your hill and die on it proudly.
