Chapter 22 · The Manifesto
THE
CODE.
Eight unyielding principles. Non-negotiable. To live by The Code is to refuse every form of self-betrayal, daily.
01
I do not abandon myself.
02
I do not lower my standards to keep people around.
03
I do not ignore patterns because someone is useful to me.
04
I do not solve everyone else's problems while neglecting my own.
05
I do not make deals that put me in financial difficulty just to chase opportunity.
06
I do not confuse loyalty with self-betrayal.
07
I do not delay truth.
08
I act immediately on clarity.
