Leadership

It would be a shame to isolate one instance so that we will start more broadly. Image: "Kaizen", the concept of continuous improvement by making small, daily changes. I fell in love with the “journey” of improvement, and through the compound effect, I gradually helped inspire the same in my peers. During the past few years, I faced many challenges, one being called “Project 50”. This required me to adhere to a diet, which was my greatest enemy, being a professional food gobbler. (just the raw reality). During a surf outing, I decided to break the tradition I started, which was to feast on Taco Bell. I explained my “why”, betting that I won’t influence them, but I surprisingly did. Everyone ate clean that day. On the way back, we all went deep into our goals and lifestyle, sparking a newfound mastermind. Fast forward a few months, I decided to take the leap and start creating value through social media. The lonely chapter hit me hard, getting no results but criticism from my classmates. I knew that this would be the most difficult part of my journey, remaining resilient in the face of adversity. November 9th, 2024 was the day I gained traction. I was consistent and my peers saw. In school, many would come up to me in the hallways and compliment me, calling me inspiring. At first, it felt weird, I didn’t know how to take it. Two years ago, I was a technology-addicted degenerate. Now I was being called an inspiration. Damn. Through guidance from a mentor, I learned to accept these compliments and transition the conversation back to them, aiding them in their respective path in life. Currently, I'm still really confused about where I want to go in life but I guess that's the beauty. I know for a fact that now, when I enter someone's life, my traits permeate around them, striving them to be better.
