My Philosophy of life.
Everything starts with philosophy. That is the essence to inform everything you do.
Every human needs a philosophy. This is mine:
- To try doing the things that take me out of my comfort zone
- To conquer my fears

There’s more but I think you get the gist. It pervades everything I do. If you follow my blog you will see it in everything I have place there.
You might say that it is not a philosophy; it’s a list. But I say it is. It is the basic premise I apply to all I do in my life.
