It’s hard seeing others cut corners or straight up chasing success without morals. Makes you question, “am I supposed to do it that way, too?”
No. Do it your way.
Your way might take a little longer.
It might feel like you go off path.
You m̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ will get lost a few times.
But, you maintain your integrity. Years later, you don’t regret giving up your dignity.
I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. But, more proud that I’ve stayed grounded and inspired others while accomplishing it.
