If You Want More Peace in Your Life, Change Where You Are #290

"Am I happy? Truly happy?"

I asked myself this question, and the answer hit me like a freight train. It actually opened Pandora's box of realization – no, I wasn't. I was far from where I wanted to be, trapped by my own choices… or rather, the lack of them.

And I believe that was the turning point when I became painfully aware that something had to change.

During that period of my life, every morning felt like a replay of the day before – hanging out, friends, parties, drugs, alcohol... I was caught in this endless loop of comfort that felt anything but comfortable.

Deep down, I knew I was craving more – more growth, more fulfillment, and most importantly, more peace. But there was this voice that kept telling me, "Change is scary. Stay where it's safe."

Until I decided that enough was enough.

It dawned on me that if I wanted more peace in my life, I needed to make a move. And so, I left. I spent some time far away from the people I was surrounded by. I moved to Poland, spent some time in China, learned a lot, and ignited that avalanche of change inside me.

Yes, it scared me. The idea of change often does. But the scarier thought was waking up years from now, drowning in a sea of what-ifs and regrets.

So, I chose growth. And it definitely wasn't all rainbows and sunshine. Growth is messy, it's challenging, but it's so worth it! I've learned, laughed, and lived more in my pursuit of peace than I ever did before.

And you can do that, too.

Join me on this week's episode as I talk about how stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to your best life.
