Trust takes years to build but can shatter in an instant. I’m not perfect—I’ve made mistakes that tested others’ trust. Yet, I’ve learned that rebuilding trust requires humility, accountability, and consistent action. Trust is fragile, but with grace and effort, it can be restored. It’s a daily commitment to align actions with values and grow from missteps.

Sometimes, when I hesitate to ask a question, I remind myself: the worst they can say is “no.” And if they do, nothing changes. My life doesn’t get worse—it stays the same. Reframing rejection this way shifts the weight off my shoulders. It’s not failure; it’s just keeping the status quo. And if the answer is “yes”? That’s a step forward I wouldn’t have taken otherwise. So, I ask. Because staying the same isn’t scary—staying stuck is.

Marshall Goldsmith’s quote, “What got you here won’t get you there,” is a reminder that while it can be comforting to rely on what worked before, past success isn’t a guarantee of future results. I often use what worked before as a measure—a way to reflect on past wins—but that’s all it is: a measure. It’s not proof that the same approach will work again. Growth means adapting, exploring, and finding new ways forward. Are you willing to let go of the past to reach your next goal?

We often hear that the best chess players think several moves ahead, mapping out a game’s complex pathways. But here’s the paradox: truly great players don’t need to calculate every possible future move. Instead, they zero in on one—the right move in the present moment. While good players craft intricate plans, great players choose quality over quantity. Years of practice refine their intuition, allowing them to make moves that transform the board with clarity and precision. As Garry Kasparov...

For me, life has never been about the titles; it’s always been about the work—about the doing. Whether I’m designing experiences, creating digital art, or exploring the intersections of technology and work, the essence of my journey is always action. I thrive on making things happen, on seeing ideas take shape and spark something new. It always felt inauthentic to seek titles to define me; I prefer to seek projects that push me forward, roles that allow me to keep learning and contributing. T...
