Thy Self
Always start with the end in mind
Dream BIG, never quit, and always bet on yourself. Can't never could.
Be brave, daring, charming, and Bold.
Seek progress, it’ll bring satisfaction. Embrace lifelong learning.
Don't run with rocks in your shoes. Proactively identify issues and mitigate burdens.
All in life is negotiable. Challenge the status quo.
Maintain composure, especially during challenging times.
Embrace life lessons and drive to positive.
A person shaped by many versions of themselves carries a greater understanding than one who remains bound to a single identity. Evolve.
Hear yourself speak, speak with authenticity, and keep your word.
Keep a fit body, it’s an image of your discipline and self-love.
Be cognizant of your strengths and weaknesses.
Eat from the earth. Be mindful of additives in your nutrition. Don't use food to fill any voids.
Leave your visits a better place.
Maintain family structure, friends, and business partners.
Use your energy to elevate those around you.
Assume noble intent and respect all.
Make ethical decisions, Act with integrity. Never lie, cheat, or steal.
The absence of evil is not an automatic indication of the presence of good. Being good is proactive. Be an agent for good.
Live in the moment, dream of the future. Don't allow data and technology to consume you. Time is a thief.
Maintain unconditional gratitude and relentless ambition.
The key to long term goals is delayed gratification.
Be cognizant of consumerism. Produce more than you consume.
Money is a tool not a measure of worth.
Do not parade your victories. Keep them close, and let their energy nourish your soul.
Know when decisive action is required and when restraint produces the better outcome.
Your thoughts shape your reality, cultivate them with care. Never speak negatively
Be inclusive of others, regardless of differences, except where it is evil. Hold no bias yet never abandon awareness or discernment
To see through another’s eyes is an act of courage. Strength listens. Character understands.
Stay away from vices and addicting habits.
Be vigilant and observant but do so unobtrusively.
Stay dangerous, but let it speak for itself.
What you're not changing, you're choosing.
Reflection is the pause that keeps purpose honest
Interrupt every negative thought and overwhelm it with three good ones.
Don’t be a Stranger to God. Let God live through you.
Speak no Evil, Hear No Evil, See no Evil.
La Cosa Nuestra,
Osintra
Stewardship and Legacy
La Familia
We care for our own and never harbor discord
We guard our Ethos without compromise
Roles and Responsibilities
Parenthood
Adapt parenting with modern times while remaining anchored to Osintra bylaws
Do not permit children to define themselves by limitation; every ‘I can’t’ becomes a lesson in possibility
Lovingly explain the ‘why’ behind every request and correction. Do not rely on raised voices or demanded authority, for true leadership requires neither.
Limit buying fun — create it. Children need little beyond our presence
Children absorb what they observe; we are mindful of every word, action, and message they are exposed to. This includes common entertainment
Limit technology and curate content intentionally. Media is educational, emotionally neutral, and never replaces lived experience — children are the heroes of their own lives, not spectators of others. Emotional development is learned through lived experience, limit entertainment.
Teach children to be mindful of others and act with consideration.
Encourage and reward leadership
Be mindful of speaking about young children in their presence; public commentary can diminish confidence, constrain personality, and foster unnecessary self-consciousness
Do not rush childhood or compare it. Remain aware of peers without surrendering a child’s natural pace. Respect the child’s pace and do not turn growth into a race
Children need little beyond our example. Invest in your own health and growth so you can pour into them. When we are well, those who follow us benefit
Listen with intention and foster conversations as early as possible
Encourage children to delay sugar and unhealthy foods for as long as possible. Introducing them too soon risks dulling their appetite for nourishing, wholesome food and undermines their ability to develop healthy eating habits.
Leadership
Responsibility ultimately rests with the one who carries the consequences
El Negocio
We are not driven by consumption but by creation. Conscious of the system, we remain its architects, not its subjects
