DIODI - Did It of Damn It
Most people live on a calendar made of “later.” Someday. Next time. When things calm down. It is a comforting story that makes you feel safe while time keeps collecting the tab. Productivity is not purpose, and motion is not momentum.
DIODI is not my work motto. It is my end of the road question. It is what I want to be able to say when I am done, when I am looking back at the life I built, the risks I took, and the ones I talked myself out of. Did I do it, or do I end up saying “damn it” because I didn’t.
It is also the litmus test I use in real time, especially when something new shows up and I feel that familiar mix of confusion and fear. The moments where your brain starts building a case for staying comfortable. The moments where you can feel the old wiring kick in and tell you to wait until you are ready, until you are certain, until you are “safe.” DIODI cuts through that noise. It does not promise the choice will be easy. It just forces the choice to be honest.
I have spent a lifetime collecting experiences, wins, mistakes, lessons, and scars. Not for a résumé. For leverage. For the ability to spot what matters, move when it counts, and recover when it gets messy. That is what I bring into this next chapter, whether I build something of my own, join the right company, or do a mix of both.
Uruguay will be there when I am ready. Until then, it is an unwritten script. I am still deciding what the next step looks like, and I am not pretending I have it neatly packaged yet. But I am moving. I am paying attention. I am testing ideas. I am building options. And I am not letting fear run the calendar.
Because when I get to the end, I do not want a life full of almost.
