Description: The most important people in life usually become that way because they were there in the hard times. Anyone can be around when things are going well. Special people are there when life is going sideways.

Description: I strive to be memorable, constantly the best version of myself. I want people to remember me and know that there will never be another!

Description: Everyone can find a group (or someone) that gets them. Not everyone will... and that's okay! It is awesome finding people who get it, who get you. They just know.

Description: While trust is not something that can be bought. It has value and must be built in order to be used....something like a savings or investment account.

Description: I don't spend time on things that don't offer a significant return-on-investment. Both time and effort are limited resources. I utilize mine judiciously.

Description: It's important for others to know and understand your worth. You shouldn't waste time with those that don't appreciate you for all you have to offer.

Description: In war, you should know your opponent and pick your battles wisely. This is true for both physical and mental conflict.

Description: In war, you should know your opponent and pick your battles wisely. This is true for both physical and mental conflict.

Description: Mental games are dangerous ones because usually one can quickly tell when their opponent is weak, but when the mental game is strong, they often find out too late :(

Description: Some people get stuck and can't move forward. Sometimes the thing that has them stuck, isn't immediately relevant anymore. So they are not moving forward from something that has very little meaning.

Description: Life will happen. All things are not in your control. Control what you can and keep moving forward.

Description: People don't change for no reason. They either see something they want or want to avoid (exposure), or they go through something they regret or want to repeat (experience).

Description: It's not just about having something to say, it's also about having a receptive audience. If the audience isn't ready, then all you are is noise.
