Early career advice from my father: “If you don’t do the small things well, they’ll never trust you to do the big things. Remember that. Everything you do matters—act accordingly.”

“What-if” is one of the most powerful phrases you’ll ever use. Point it backward, and it haunts you. Point it forward and it inspires you. Regret and possibility use the same language; the difference is direction.

Underrated life advice: Own fewer things. Every item you buy is an item you manage. Physically or mentally. Clutter isn’t just in your closet. It lives in your head. When you lessen the load, you free your attention for what matters. Less stuff = less stress. Period.

Underrated life advice: Happiness has less to do with chasing what you think you want and more to do with appreciating what you already have. Learn to love what life offers, and "a little" feels like plenty. Keep seeking more, and no amount of anything will ever be enough.

Major cheat code for life: If you want to make better decisions, slow down your “yes” and speed up your “no.” Most regrets come from rushing in without clarity, or dragging out something you know isn't right. Decide slower. Walk away faster. Your future self will thank you.

Major cheat code for life: Learn to delay your reaction. Anger, fear, and impulse will try to make you move fast. There's power in pausing. In the pause, you see clearly, you respond wisely, and you avoid decisions you’ll regret. Breathe. Take a walk. Slow down to speed up.

Most things have a much better chance of working if you stop telling yourself all of the reasons they won't. You don't need a genius plan. Be stubborn. Focus on one way you'll win instead of 100 ways you might fail. Success is less about brilliance and more about belief.
