To whom it may concern, 2nd part of always listening to your inner voice inside of the voices outside of your body. Advice is always good, but it should stay as an advice and not as a guide. I´ve been always told to /step out of my comfort zone,/ /that is where life begins./ Unfortunately it has been mostly said by people who consume alcohol, therefor escaping from their own questions in life and in general, from life itself. But it is not that why I was discouraged to listen to their words of wisdom, but it is that I believe to simply /go out of the comfort zone/ is not a goal. It is what people do when they do not know what to do or do not know how to do the things they need in life. It is extremely simple to follow directions - we have whole masses of people doing it without understand truly their situation. Whether in government, private sector or even in day to day life. Humans, like dogs, like instructions and like /minor missions/. Everyone can live a chaotic life and simply act, but I feel that the true motivation, the essence, the core, the matrix, of motivation is the filling or.. the feeling. I believe we must firstly find our inner desires and let that motivate us. One of my favourite quotes of all times is by Saint-Exupéry, it is not a direct translation, but the idea goes as following: "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." (original text: https://www.facebook.com/raimopregel/posts/10204836909426697) If your adventures leads you out of your comfort zone - just keep going! I feel that in life is not about fighting the wave and always going upstream, but rather going with the flow through difficult and most of the time confusing and complex obstacles. They are two absolutely different meanings and ways of life - you choose the best that fits you, but in order to choose, you must know the ins and outs of both.

"There is no age, no present, no future, only now. Feeling the joy of embarking on a journey just as the feeling of fear start taking you over? Matters not, matters only now - if you give all, you receive all, if you give some, you receive from nothing to maybe some. Do what you like now, do not waste time predicting the unpredictable. What you like now will transform, maybe, but why care? Do what you like, enjoy what you like." Raimo Pregel
