“The thing about human existence is that when things are left alone to be they tend to gravitate towards decline, not towards something better.”
“We stay stuck in inaction because we don’t really have a gauge for what that next level life is really worth to us.”
“The middle-ground is costing you in ways that aren’t always visible to you right now. The cost only becomes visible when you experience either the pain of falling below the middle-ground, or you experience the pleasure you’ve been missing out on when you reach for something more.”
