Very well said, and I like your distinction between reckless and ridiculous. An energising read!

The temptation to settle for a good enough life is relentless. Almost everything about our society pressures us to conform rather than to transform. But deep inside the “Knowing” refuses to die! Our deepest self knows we are meant for more!

Thanks for helping us remember, Alex❤️ Grateful!

I will always rise to the invitation to be ridiculous and go where others didn’t dare. 🤗

You know what's crazy? Most people give a darn what you do (maybe your parents have an opinion) but most people are too busy living their own lives, so be audacious! Chase after your dreams. Fail. Fall on your face. The perceiving embarrassment of "failing" will be almost entirely in your own head. Life's too short to sit on the sidelines. This took me a while to comprehend but I'm starting to embrace being unreasonable!
