Everything you say and do creates an impact
You’ll never get a day off from your responsibilities
Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny
(Gandhi)
On your last day on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become
If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello (Steve Jobs)

No one is bigger than the team. One selfish mindset will infect a collective culture (Legacy)
Just because it’s common sense doesn’t mean it’s common practice (Legacy)
Your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, and your actions dictate your destiny
The ability to focus on what feels painful & effortful until it gets pleasurable is the main difference between being good and being great at something
