The biggest influences in my life haven’t always been specific people. More often, they’ve been patterns, ideas, and examples I’ve observed over time.

I’ve been shaped by watching how different people respond to pressure, responsibility, and change. Some examples showed me what to move toward. Others showed me what to avoid. Both mattered.

Consistency has been one of the strongest influences. People who show up, do what they say they’ll do, and don’t make a spectacle of it have always left a mark on me. Quiet reliability tends to stick longer than loud success.

I’ve also been influenced by creators, writers, and storytellers who focus on process rather than perfection. The idea that progress comes from small, repeated effort rather than big gestures is something I’ve carried with me.

Ultimately, the biggest influence has been learning to trust my own judgement over time. Taking lessons from the world around me, filtering them, and deciding what fits has mattered more than following any single voice.

Influence, for me, isn’t about imitation. It’s about alignment. Keeping what works, discarding what doesn’t, and building something that feels honest.
