What is the biggest lesson
you’ve learned this year?
I’ve learned a lot of lessons.
I can’t really pinpoint any one of them. If I had a dollar for all of the
lessons, epiphanies, paradigm shifts I’ve had this past year, I’d be a
millionaire. But I would say the biggest lesson I’m learning right now is to take
100% responsibility of EVERY SINGLE THING that happens to me. I’m incredibly
tired of blaming other people. You can’t change other people, so the best thing
to do is change yourself. Of course, I didn’t come up with that. I learned this
from many successful people I look up to. I’m actually, at heart, so excited
for more improvement because my life will never get boring. My life is a big
adventure.
What kind of path have you
chosen for yourself?
The path less traveled! I feel
so different compared to how I used to view life and the world in high school.
I thought I would just go to school forever. I like school. I like learning,
but there are so many other interests I have that I don’t think I would have
found I had a passion about if I just went to school. People usually think, “Go
to school, get good grades, get a job.” But to me it’s, “Go to the place where
you can learn the most and from the best about your passion, commit yourself to
it by doing the necessary things every day, create the life you want to live.”
What are some of the things you
want to do in the next 5 years?
My passions are Catholicism,
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and being a business owner. In the next 5 years, I want to
be greatly involved in spreading knowledge about the Church and helping people
understand Catholicism better, whether it’s having a radio show or writing a
weekly column in the paper. With Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I want to be competing
internationally, winning tournaments, inspiring people all over, and eventually
teaching kids with Autism. I most especially want to build my business to a
level that I know will influence other people to be strong and confident in
their businesses and change people’s lives so they can pursue their own dreams.
