I feel A Million Miles in A Thousand Years, by local Portland author, Donald Miller, gives a great philosophy towards living your life. The biggest takeaway I took from the story is that in our lives the most memorable and greatest moments almost always come from pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone, experiencing pain, and taking the harder path. When we finally reach the joyous part it becomes that much more rewarding because of all the hard work it took to get there. Now whenever I’m feeling down and not wanting to go to the gym, edit photos, or go out with friends I just think to myself “how can I make a better life story” and that usually motivates me to get out.
I definitely recommend picking up a copy of the book. And it’s now in paperback.
