This is not branding. It is the way I choose to live.

Core code

  • Own the day or it will own you.
  • Today is your day.
  • Breathe.
  • Enjoy this.
  • Ask: how can I enjoy this?
  • YOU DO YOU.
  • Tell the truth cleanly.
  • Don’t lie.
  • Keep your word.
  • Live with joy.
  • Let humour keep you human and honest.
  • Give more than you take.
  • Never give up.
  • Learn fast.
  • I NEVER make the same mistake twice.
  • Acknowledge there is always more to learn.
  • Grow or die.
  • Be the change you want to see in the world.
  • Appreciate the beauty of the universe.
  • To be the best father, be the best me.

Relational code

  • I love.
  • I listen.
  • I feel.
  • I learn.
  • I am forgiving.
  • I am reliable.
  • I am present.

Identity code

  • I am brave enough to tell the truth.
  • I am silly enough to stay alive.
  • I am grounded enough to be dependable.
  • I am me.

Reminder

This code is only real when it is embodied. Not admired. Not recited. Lived.
