"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
You cannot control anything in real life the only thing you can really control is your mind.

The Sentinel of Shadows
Always act on the idea that God/Ancestor's/Family are watching.
- Feeling like someone's watching encourages us to do right by our values and live with integrity.
- Believing in watchers means having wise guides, pushing us to make choices that align with higher ideals.
- Knowing we're being observed by a higher power gives our actions a deeper purpose, making our journey feel more meaningful.
- Seeing God, ancestors, or family as watchers provides a comforting sense that we're not alone, making life's challenges easier to face.

The Oath of Virtue
Reinforce what I find good in life, what I need to protect and save.
- Embracing a sense of duty involves reinforcing the positive aspects of life and actively protecting and preserving what matters most to us.
↪ Find what gives you a push in life. (Family › Purpose › Growth)
↪ Internalize & Make it a part of you, what stays with you life long.
↪ Set Goals/System - Fuel Your Discipline/Motivation Around It.

The Code Enforcer
Not the motivation discipline, the kid discipline.
- Punish yourself when you don't achieve your targets.
Be your own Sargent, make yourself do 50/100 pushups.
✔ Positive punishment, in behavioral psychology, involves the addition of an aversive stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior
✔ Positive reinforcement—rewarding desired behaviors—rather than punishment, as it tends to be more effective in promoting long-term behavioral changes and maintaining a positive mindset

The Stoic
Stoicism is also a mindset that's based on the idea that your mind determines your perceptions. Stoics believe that the problem is not the external world, but your internal world.
- Negative Visualization: We must always try to picture the worst that could happen – and then remind ourselves that the worst is survivable
✘ Pessimism: Broader attitude characterized by a consistently negative outlook on life
Do not confuse both. Stoic's aim to promote gratitude and resilience while pessimism maintains a negative outlook on life with hopelessness and a negative mindset.

The Battle-Tested Spirit
"Struggle & Success come hand in hand"
- Trauma is growth, don't use it to consume you or destroy you.
It's volatility in your life and in your world whenever a situation occurs.
➛ Ex. Family member dies. (logically it's easier, emotionally it hits harder)
✘ - Cry about it, start complaining, use vices to forget, ruining your life, never healing.
✔ - Cry about it, send respects to their hearts, cry about it again, live up to their will and use The Watcher concept for now they are watching you.
*If you are going through this, I believe in you, even when no one will.*
