There’s no way around it, in order to be truly free and happy, you have to grow. And growth requires taking risks, stepping outside your comfort zone and, yes, facing difficult challenges.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. Decide on what you want your life to be and become it today. Settle for nothing less than exactly what you want and the universe will conspire to assist you.
