Where it all started
Three decisions
Three moments where I chose a path — instead of waiting for permission.

Autumn 2017 · I can't go on like this
There was a vision. Discipline — there was none.
I kept chasing quick pleasure instead of results. I knew: in ten years I wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't take the path I believed was right.
I cut everything: studies, relationships, illusions. Left for the countryside — my "Shaolin monastery." 88 days. Alone. Wake-up at 4:44. Training, 8 hours of reading daily, NLP, speech work, long dialogues with myself — to stop lying.
Two months after returning — found a partner, created conditions, delivered my first full training. I got the taste.
"The fear of achieving nothing turned out to be stronger than the fear of change."

2019 · A blow to the heart
Obstacles? No — opportunities.
My heart started failing. I took myself to the hospital — because I could no longer function normally. IV drips. Training forbidden. Dependence on medication.
I listened. Thanked them. Decided the opposite. Not out of stubbornness — out of conviction. I understood: the mind rules the body.
I started training against all orders. A year later — I quit the meds. 7 years later — the pulse of an elite athlete. My heart is stronger than it could have been.
They said: «IV drips for life.» I said:
"My body — my project. My brain — the main instrument."

2020 · Born again
You create your own myth.
The year I changed my name. Not because the old one was bad — but because I build my own story.
If we choose our work, values, way of thinking — then why not what we are called?
Ares — strength, will, action. Bragi — wisdom, word, depth. Two energies that shouldn't exist in one person. That's exactly why I took both.
This is about responsibility. You can change everything that isn't truly yours. Starting with your name. Ending with your legacy.
"Who said you have to live with someone else's script? Even if that script is your own name."

The fear of living below your potential is stronger than any fear of change. That's what drives me. We'll find your driver together.
