Leap of Faith to Success

As humans, we are often scared to take a leap. Its not because we fear whats on the other side of the bridge, but our own lack of faith in ourselves.

We often stay at the same place, afraid of not getting out in the world thinking why leave comfort when we’re getting everything here ?! Well if you had not cam out of your comfort zone, you would have not been born. Had you not fallen down several times, you would never be able to walk again.

So do I suggest we keep on experimenting and changing the stimulus around us to grow ? Well we must. There is always a saturation period and post that if you are staying where you are it is no more learning but your fear of the unknown keeping you from becoming the better self you are. But how do we know if its the saturation time? Honestly you never know. You need to take a chance and listen to the voice within. If you feel its time, go take that chance.

Now a question arises, what if I take the leap and fall down so hard that it hurt? It would hurt for sure but you’d know that you were not supposed to do it. You would grow better and like a phoenix arise from the ashes. Also think about the other 50% chance, maybe you’re a bird meant to fly but because your friends like living in a cage you are there too. Its a proven scientific theory that if you don’t talk to a child, like saying “Papa, Mama” etc to him, they’d never develop the ability to talk. Its because they never knew they could do it.

Always remember 1 thing, it is better to live with 1000 failures than the guilt of not taking a chance. So come on people, get up, take that chance and prove your worth.
