Are there things in your life which hold you back, things you could easily let go of, and yet you cling to them because they are so familiar?
If things are to be better, they must be different.
You cannot simultaneously stay the same and improve your life.
Moving forward means moving into unfamiliar territory.
Yes, there will be new and unexpected challenges.
There will also be new and valuable opportunities.
Yes, it will be a bit uncomfortable, and maybe even a little sad to leave behind those familiar old burdens.
It will also be filled with many positive possibilities.
You'll soon get used to it and will be thankful you decided to move on ahead.
Summon the courage to step out of your familiar, comfortable rut and suddenly the world will become a different place.
Many of those things which held you back will no longer have the power to do so.
Hold tight to those things of true and lasting value, and learn to let go of the rest.
Lighten your load and move yourself to where you'll find the most promising possibilities.
It is my understanding that the majority of people on their death beds, who have the opportunity to look back over their lives, wish they had taken more risks in their life and spent more time "walking barefoot in the park". Life is really a matter of choices. We can chose to be comfortable and contented with our lot which results in boredom and unfullfilment or, we can chose to step out, accept new challenges, stretch ourselves to the limit, and lead an exciting and satisfying life. |
