When you're on your own life quest, whether that's building a company or chasing something you've always wanted, you can only relate to your heroes so much. sure, there are core values, principles, and lessons you can learn from them. But your journey will be unique to you.

And here's the thing: someone else's opinion of what you're capable of should never define what you believe is possible for yourself. It doesn't matter how experienced, successful, or established they are. they don't know what you're willing to learn, how far you're willing to push, or how many times you're willing to adapt and try again.

At the end of the day, it's either to be or not to be. And that decision is yours, not anyone else's.
