I think it's fair to say that sometimes we'd rather be comfortable and complain than push ourselves.

Sticking with what you know
The familiarity of what you know might be the thing that keeps you from exploring other ideas or options. Let's take the example of food. Imagine you go to a restaurant and order the duck.

Made up systems

But, do you ever take it … Continue reading Made up systems

Why do people accept less than they truly desire? I think it comes from a lack of belief that you can attain the things that you want.
