## Caption

It’s a success philosophy thats worked very well in my career. I let my hard times of my past, shape and inform my daily gratitude and work ethic. 
Regardless of whatever success I’ve been fortunate enough to achieve over the years, I still operate every day as if my back’s up against the fucking wall. 
When I psychologically put myself in that position, there’s only one way to go - forward. 
This ideology doesn’t work for everyone, as a lot of people prefer to block out their past. 
I prefer to understand it, embrace it & use it.
