WE DON’T TAKE CHANCES, WE STICK TO THE OLD, KILL OURSELVES WITH BOREDOM BECAUSE WE ARE SCARED OF CHANGE
We all have faced fear, some of us have overcome and some of us have been controlled by it. At times, when we are about to take a decision, we are held back by an unknown string, which has ifs and buts attached to it, and that string is called fear.
Here is a story of my own which transformed my perspective. I was in a mall with friends and they proposed the idea of ice-skating, and they all were eager to go ahead. I was the one who turned pale, because the truth is I didn’t know normal skating and ice-skating was beyond question.
So I refused, but the tickets had been already bought. For the first time, I went beyond my fear and gave a yes. Then, it was show-time. I braved somehow to go ahead. Soon I saw myself battling. And, yes I fell not once or twice but four times. Every time I fell, I got up and then after the fourth time I took a perfect round without falling. It’s all about perspective. When I changed my mind and asked myself, “What if I fail?”, everything changed then and there. It’s not I didn’t have a choice to hold back, but this time I wanted to give power to “the new”.
Life is all about going beyond the fears, experiencing the new and being dazzled by the beauty of change. We don’t take chances out of fear, we stick to the old, kill ourselves with boredom, live a stagnant life because we are too scared of change.
Cut that string out of your life, shed all the old, and accept the new. New is good, challenging and something different.
The art of life is living with an art. Fears should not hold us back. Remember, every time you give power to fear, you have taken power away from a change, a new growth and a new beginning. And you have given your life a dead-end.
