The thing that keeps me up at night? It’s the same thing that drives me every day.
Regret.
I don’t want to live with it.
I don’t want to look back one day, wondering “what if …?”
Every day, I’m pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone.
Because comfort can be a trap that leads to unfulfilled potential.
Here’s what keeps me moving forward:
𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆.
→ Comfort feels safe, but safety doesn’t equal growth.
→ I’m challenging myself to step beyond.
𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱-𝗼𝗻.
→ Each challenge I accept is an opportunity to conquer old fears and discover new strengths.
𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗼𝗳 "𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱" 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 "𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵."
→ Each day is a chance to add to the story I want to tell.
I’m committed to living a life filled with "I did it" moments, not "what-ifs". How about you?
“You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft, that you will die without ever realizing your true potential.” —David Goggins
𝗣𝗦: What’s the last risk you took that paid off?
