Every day stories about motivation, inspiration and ...þetta reddast

If you havent tried, iam advicing you to try at least one in your life...Just to see how you mind will try to trick you to stop at many points and how much the people that are coming all the way to cheer you up from organisations, or just from outside their home can take your mind back in track and give you courage to go, or a glass of water when you need it.
