Gut

In the gut, go with the gut.
It’ll help you sleep at night.
It’ll help you look in the mirror
and not be too disappointed in what you see.
Hell, you might even crack a smile.

It’s your own built-in bullshit detector.
Learn to trust it.
It might just save your life.

If something doesn’t feel right, walk away.

You belong to no one and nothing.
No matter what people say,
you are your own person.

You’re not perfect, no one is.
And no suit, no degree,
no property empire,
no amount of money changes that.

So don’t be dazzled.
Don’t be fooled.

You are all you need.
Learn.
Work on yourself.
Every day, if you can.
Grow.
Don’t settle.

And more than anything, don’t give up.
Don’t.
Dig deep.

You will fuck up
It will feel like the end of the world sometimes.
It’s not.

Oh yeah… and the number one thing?
Make your own mind up.
Trust your gut.
And don’t listen to bad advice.

You’ll make your way, and you’ll be fine.
