Dear friend,<\/p>\n

You were destined for greatness, grandeur, and an epic life \u00e2\u20ac\u201d why choose the safe route?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CONQUER YOUR FEARS AND MEET NEW PEERS ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I got this line from JAY Z:<\/p>\n

\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Better to die enormous than lie dormant.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is one of my personal philosophies in life.<\/p>\n

This is my theory:<\/p>\n

In today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s world, our chance of dying of starvation, the cold, or thirst is pretty much zero.<\/p>\n

Human DNA and biology is hardwired to first, prevent ourselves from dying. Then, we seek to find purpose and meaning in our lives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t choose to be born. You didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a say in the matter.<\/p>\n

But, now you can choose how to live your life. Do you want to live a normal and boring life, or would you rather take epic risks in life, to push yourself, to see what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re capable of, and what your personal limit or maximum is?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The world is a beautiful, exciting, and amazing place. Why stay indoors, in your apartment, just checking social media, blogs, and your phone? Instead of Netflix and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153chilling\u00e2\u20ac\u009d at home \u00e2\u20ac\u201d why not \u00e2\u20ac\u0153carpe diem\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (seize the day) like Horace<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trust me, I like comfort. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like danger. I like the status quo.<\/p>\n

But, everyday, I seek to push myself outside of my comfort zone. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m interested in finding the personal maximum in my life.<\/p>\n
