Quotes to ponder:


"Life is not a treadmill. It’s not supposed to be repetitive, exhausting, and monotonous."


"If you don’t step off and take time to think about what you’re doing, you’ll end up spending the best years of your life running in place."


"You don’t need to earn more money to find happiness. You need to better align your values with how you spend your time."
