Andy Frisella said “The people you want to know don’t want to know you… until you’ve something worthy of knowing.”
That may sound harsh, but it is one of life’s most important lessons.
This is why I always say NOBODY is coming to save you...
It is your responsibility to do everything you can to put yourself out there.
There is a ladder in front of you… and you must climb it yourself.
Every skill you develop, every sacrifice you make, every problem you solve, and every result you produce is another step up that ladder.
That is how you put yourself out there and that is how you get noticed for doors to begin to open.
You have to build yourself... and understand that building yourself comes with scars.
And those scars are the currency that proves that you paid your dues.
Every scar is evidence that when life demanded a price, you paid it.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is never to stop reminding yourself that you are not perfect.
We all make mistakes... We all have blind spots that others can see more clearly than we can.
So...
1. Understand that progress is the goal, not perfection... Stay teachable.
2. Stay humble... But unfuckwithable.
3. Stay growing... The greatest enemy of growth is the belief that you have already arrived.
No matter how intelligent, successful, or gifted we are… There will always be something about us we cannot see.
And that is why we judge ourselves by our intentions while the rest of the world judges us by our actions.
That gap is where many of our blind spots live and it is not something we can just hide.
So, be open to learning more about YOU from others who are “genuinely” concerned about you, because the bond you share allows them to see you from an angle you cannot see yourself.
And yes, in some situations… there are people who can explain who you are better than you can explain who you are.
Why?
You know your intentions.
They experience your actions.
You know the battles happening inside your mind.
They see the decisions those battles produce.
They notice and identify patterns quickly.
Stay teachable.
Enjoy June. ✌️
You probably just start supporting Arsenal to forget how many times or years you have spent in the Europa League.
You were there 11 times and couldn’t win it once, lost 2 finals. Even Spurs won 3.
The UCL you claim is your level, you lost your 2 finals from winning positions.
