You become what you tolerate.

Not what you want. What you tolerate.

The agreements you never made.

The agreements you never made.

The invisible rules running your life.

The comfort zone is where dreams go to die.

The comfort zone is where dreams go to die.

Nobody stages an intervention for comfort.

Your phone is a slot machine.

Your phone is a slot machine.

Engineered to steal the life you say you want.

The five people problem.

The five people problem.

Your circle is your ceiling.

Your environment is voting.

Your environment is voting.

And it's not voting for who you want to become.

Burn the arsenal.

Burn the arsenal.

Your excuses or your future. Pick one.

"I have to be realistic."

"I have to be realistic."

The dream killer disguised as maturity.

"I'll start when..."

"I'll start when..."

The condition that never comes.
