Be aware of what’s outside of your comfort zone
Whenever I am feeling moments of discomfort, that means true change is happening to me. This is one of the reason why I needed to quit my hometown. I understood that having the same routine daily will kill me softly. I look at my comfort zone as my enemy, certainly trying to avoid me to be who I was meant to be.

Breaking a habit, taking risks for a new business , a new adventure, making new connections, pushing boundaries, won’t be easy. However what is fun about having the same day, the same life for 85 years. Since the day I left the “comfortable” France for Indonesia.
I am always seeking out for new fresh experiences especially to help me to be more creative, develop my emotional intelligence. And humble my spirit by meeting new people, facing new perspectives, changing environments.
Comfortable in discomfort
The journey changes you, it always change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your heart, and on your body. Sometimes our lives are not as bright as the day. Sometimes we lose ourselves in the darkness without a compass to find our way out. But you need the dark to see the light. And remember, don’t get lost in between. Find your balance.
Stepping up when it’s hard, painful builds your character.
