‘”It’s impossible! What are the chances…” my pride tells me.
‘”It’s too risky! What if…” my
experience warns me.
“”It’s insane, pure madness!’” my
rational side proclaims.
But my
heart whispers, ‘”Do it!!! Give it a try’”
Sometimes life presents you with opportunities – you can do your
best to avoid them, might even fear them, or maybe see it as a golden
opportunity and take the chance leaving all rational thought and inhibitions
behind in the bust. In any case, you now find yourself at the crossroads
debating which path to take- do you stay the course and continue as you have doing
exactly what you're doing, or you can take a chance…a leap of faith? Suppose, it’s a little unnerving for some the
foreign notion of walking straight into a crowded busy street with oncoming
traffic blindfolded with nothing concrete to guide you, but your heart.
It takes enormous audacity to push the boundaries to the extreme,
to go beyond what you know, to step out of your comfort zone. People are so
scared of the unknown, even if we're pretty confident what lies ahead promises to be far greater than anything you have ever experienced.
It’s why we have coin phrases like “better the devil you know”. But this doesn't help anyone; rather it allows most to live in fear, almost emotionally stunting
us, leaving no room for personal growth. Because the reality of life is, if you
do not fight for thing you want and push past your horizons how will you know
what you are really capable of?
Falling in love is the
most beautiful of life’s mysteries and you cannot live a dream if you are willing
to dream in the first place. And no
matter how incredibly amazing you may think your life is, discovering that one
thing that may have eluded you before, could make your life that more astonishing.
Love, isn’t for the faint at heart, it’s one of life’s many rewards reserved
for those willing to take the chance and do what it takes to see that it
becomes reality. And then sometimes, taking
a chance is really the only option you have. You can allow your fears to
crimple you or paralyze you and essentially setting limits on what you can
achieve, but how will you reach greatness and live life to its fullest if you are
not will to risk it all, almost leaving you vulnerable, exposed? Simple answer
is you can't. Nothing in life worth wanting and keeping comes without effort. You cannot find and experience true love without
putting yourself out there, allowing yourself to experience the unknown...
