Each one of us is called upon, probably many times, to start a new life.. A marriage, loss of job, a frightening diagnosis, moving houses.. I know for sure that anyone who is reading this knows what it feels like because they have been through it.. It can be nerve wrecking to say the least !
Whatever our official addresses may be, whether posh or in smaller localities, it does not hold much importance, because after all we only live in the ultra luxurious world of our own little comfort zone ! The same friends that we’ve had since school or college, the same lucky charms that we’ve been over with a million times, the same therapy of home cooked food when we’re tired and the same dollops of chocolate or icecream when we’re upset..
We do complain several times about life being mundane, boring, not exciting enough, about us being ‘not as lucky as the dumb-but-rich neighbours next door ‘..Lets face it, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t do it.. But I know not more than a couple of people who actually take action to change something about their status..
We cant complain that we’ve had no opportunity, that would be blasphemy ! that would be the biggest lie in the world.. May be you chose to look away or retire in your comfort zone when opportunity knocked..thats quite possible.. “Who wants to take a risk at this stage? It’s not worth it ! what if it doesn’t go well..Its better to be content with what we have”. There is nothing wrong with this approach.. infact I solicit it, I advise it, I use it myself, because I have a fear for the unknown, I AM SCARED OF RISKS ! There… I said it ! But as I say it, I am also responsible enough to not blame life for being mundane and dull and boring..
I have realized that my ordinary actions will never give me the extra ordinary results I dream of. I accept that. I know that when I am ready to change my status from ‘ Comfertable’ to ‘fire in my belly’ , I will be a possibility of success.. I know that I will be willing to take that onward full tilt and will be resolute about making it on a good shore.
I have already started taking baby steps towards conquering certain blindfolds and mental blocks I hold within me..I have started to face my fear and take the bull by the horns.. I am working on it and I am very surprisingly, enjoying my discovery ! I know you will too.. give yourself that chance to play DARE !
Till then, I am hopeful and embrace one possibility after another. Time to take this life for what it is !!
