One of my favourite quotes:
“There are a lot of powerful voices in the world, and a lot of powerful voices in our heads, all telling us what to do or who to be. And because there are many models for how life is supposed to be lived, we all run the risk of accidentally living someone else’s life”. Bill Burnett & Dave Evans - DESIGNING YOUR LIFE
