Look right, look left, look right again then cross the road when it is clear! Every child born in the 80s will remember being told this as it was continuously drummed in our minds. There we were wondering what the fuss was all about with the cautionary remarks. It is when one grows older that the true significance of these words becomes unveiled like a flower blossoming in spring. We all have an unpredictable journey ahead of us & it is only through self-discovery that we will be able unveil its true purpose. Every path in life we take is specifically designed to suit who we are. Many may travel with you on the same road but it is only you who will end up at your own destination.
Life is indeed a journey of a thousand kilometers (leave alone the usual miles as commonly put) & yet it all begins when we take that first single step. But do we really like taking any step at all in moving forward? Most of us are reluctant to accept change fearing that they may fall. You need to understand that one never learns when you don't make mistakes. A mistake is meant to be a life lesson that teaches you better. When you fall, if you can look up, you can get up. Living that stress free life is good but if you are used to the same temperatures through out your life you will never unlearn your one mindedness.
We have to stop with the norm of being afraid of change. You may feel all secure in your pond in life that youhave dipped yourslf in, but if you never venture out of it & always stay put, one thing is certain you will never come to the realisation that there exists an ocean or the sea. This habit of holding onto something that one deems as good for them at the moment may be the reason as to why you don't have something better. It does not matter how long you think you will spend on this earth, how much money you have gathered in your account or how much attention you are receiving. It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters.
One learns that as you get older, the rules are made to be bent & not broken. Be bold enough to live life on your own terms & never apologise for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform to the ways of the world, take the road less travelled instead of a well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity & leap before you look. Dance as though everybody is watching. Match to the beat of your own drummer & stubbornly refuse to fit in.
"It is easier to live through someone else than to complete oneself. The freedom to lead & plan your own life is frightening if you have never faced it before. It is frightening when one finally realises that there is no answer to the question 'who am I?' except the voice inside oneself".
