“The first step on the journey toward a calloused mind is stepping outside your comfort zone on a regular basis. Dig out your journal again and write down all the things you don’t like to do or that make you uncomfortable. Especially those things you know are good for you.

“At first, when you push beyond your perceived capability your mind won’t shut the fuck up about it.

Boundaries dissolve and you feel connected to yourself, and to all things, in the depth of your soul.”
