“Passion doesn’t pay rent. Direction does.”

Follow your passion, and success will follow.
Passion is kindling. Direction is fire. The world doesn’t reward feelings — it rewards leverage, clarity, and time. If passion alone paid rent, we’d both be rich.

The system is fair.
The system is a casino with loaded dice. You don’t rise by playing fair — you rise by playing smart. And if smart doesn’t work? You burn the table down.

Balance is the goal.
Balance is a lullaby for the unsure. I’m not here to blend fire and water. I am the fire. Balance is nice for monks. Not for warriors.

People are inherently good.
People are inherently reactive, lazy, and self-serving.
Selfishness, when rational, respects the rights of others — it’s clean and principled. But self-serving at the expense of others? That’s not selfish. That’s predatory.

You need to forgive to move on.
Not for them. For you. Forgiveness isn’t surrender — it’s release.
I forgave someone who broke me early in life. Not to heal them. But to reclaim myself. She’s no longer my villain. She’s just… gone.

“This time, it’s not fallout. It’s flight.”
