2. Embrace the pain and discomfort we all experience in life and use it to make you a stronger and more resilient individual.
3. You leave behind what you weave in other people's hearts.
4. As long as you don't quit, you can never be defeated.

Familycentrism - The desire for having family considerations shape major life decisions.
Radius - The desire to have a systemic impact on all those with whom I come in contact.

Commitment - Consistently honoring my promises, purposes, and responsibilities even when doing so is difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable.
Curious - Being open to learning, seeking understanding, and approaching everything and everyone with a desire to discover and question.
