“No one really owns my thoughts and actions. It has been said countless times but I finally understood that my time here is limited and I am completely free of choosing how to spend it. Life is a gift, definitely.”

What do you do?
I try to understand how things work and how to improve them. I prefer to be somewhat good at many different things, than becoming an expert at just one.
Why?
Because I feel I was meant to do some of these particular things and the act of doing them is what gives meaning to my life. With time, I am learning more and more how to take time off from the trivial ones in order to focus on the ones that resonate much better with me.
What should we read?
