Quote 1:

“I’m just going to make what’s cool to me and sometimes the whole world will agree.”

- Mike Posner (singer, songwriter, adventurer)

Beautiful things emerge from us when we are in a state of flow — that magical state where time and space disappear, and creation reaches its peak. This is where the magic happens. This is where we all aspire to be. However, when we try to force this state, especially under pressure to produce another "hit," as in Mike Posner's situation, the outcome often falls short. So, be yourself, stay authentic, and immerse yourself in your work. After all, not everyone will like or approve of what you do — and that’s completely okay.

Quote 2:

"The three most addictive substances in the world are heroin, carbohydrates, and a monthly salary.”

- Naval Ravikant (an entrepreneur and investor)

A monthly salary, in itself, is not a bad thing—until it is. It provides safety and stability, offering us security and comfort. But when comfort becomes excessive, why would we take the risk of stepping into discomfort to grow?

I’m not suggesting that you quit your jobs and become homeless to pursue growth, but be mindful that it’s easy to stop growing when you’re surrounded by too much coziness.

Quote 3:

“There is no risk when you go after your dream. There is a tremendous risk in playing it safe.”

- Bill Burr (comedian, actor, podcaster)

What’s the risk of going after our dreams? Someone might say no to us? People might make fun of our dreams and what we do? Others might not understand us?

Well, guess what? Even if all of that happens, you will still survive, and life will go on. In reality, you’re never truly in danger.

On the other hand, if you choose the safe route, you risk never living up to your full potential and never truly experiencing the happiness of living life on your own terms. Pursuing your dreams, though it may seem risky, is ultimately the safer and more fulfilling path compared to staying in your comfort zone
