One of the main thoughts that fill my head when I can't sleep is “what if when I die, I look back at my life and regret it.” Because of this very question I often obsess about if my way of life is in alignment with my goals, and often they are not. To be... Continue Reading →
The productive comfortzone
A repost from my old blog, abirdjustflies. “Magic happens when you step outside your comfort zone.” “Life happens outside your comfort zone.” A saying with many different variations, said by many different people.
