“Ambition is when you close the gap between your circumstances and your expectations. Entitlement is when you expect others to close the gap between your circumstances and your expectations.”

— James Clear, Atomic Habits

I. Leave Your Mark

Meaning is about making a difference, not having an audience.

It's better to be valued by a few than to be known by many.

Your contribution is not the scope of your reach. It's the depth of your impact.

Your legacy is not how many footprints you leave. It's how long they last.

The Last Words…

“When was the last time you paused for a second and gave yourself the credit you deserve for how far you’ve come, how much you’ve grown, the person you’ve become, the transformation you’ve experienced and the tough lessons you’ve learnt? Honestly, you should be so proud of you.”
