Is There a Better Way to Live?

When you gravitate towards a risk-free existence and you box yourself in as I had for so long, of course you don't get the upside but you also don't fail as dramatically either. Life was a simple game of cause and effect. Do work, get results, not much room for more than that. And so stepping outside that box in the way that I did changed some rules. It's where I learn that we only get what we want when we endure or what we don't. Anytime the fear kicked in I could feel myself getting closer to something meaningful, to a higher version of myself.
