# Here's the mantra I live by: #### Live by Design, not default. This means living every day as if I am in control of my destiny, rather than going through it in a reactionary way. #### Strive for Purpose, not perfection. This means making sure I have a reason for the things I do and not holding myself to impossible standards. #### Commit with Devotion, not discipline. This means putting forth effort to those things I'm passionate about and not turning those things into a chore.
