beliefs

live a good story.

nobody's coming to save you. that's the good news.

don't cry over spilt milk.

pressure makes diamonds.

show up before you're ready.

where you start doesn't determine where you finish.

the product doesn't exist yet. the behaviour does.

wise up. x across.

gut over grid.

take it or leave it. the choice is yours.
