Until You Have The Courage To Lose Sight of The Shore

That’s a good premise to ponder over this weekend.

It’s a lot easier to hang on to what you have always done, rather than risk letting go to get to some place better.

Because let’s face it – letting go, is a scary fucking thing. The unknown, the dark, is always going to be a daunting prospect.

If you are not scared, you are just not thinking right. It’s perfectly normal to be afraid.

But being scared isn’t going to get you anywhere.

Fear of uncertainty is always going to drag you down and stop you from going places – places you should be and deserve to be.

And being scared is always going to be part of the deal.

There are no guarantees in life. Nothing comes ready made. It’s not a game of connect the dots. Few people have it made. Odds are you are not of those folks – otherwise you would not be reading this.

Usually, the bigger the gains to be made, the bigger the uncertainties involved. Which makes the associated fears proportionally bigger too.

That means the more you have to gain, the more frightening it will be to do it.

However, if you keep on succumbing to your fears, and you keep running back to what you know, you are never really going to get anywhere are you?

You are just going to stay around in the same old place, doing the same old thing and coming up with the same old excuses.

 

BREAK THE CIRCLE

The only way you will get anything accomplished in life is to just let go.

And give it all you got.

By all means, make use of your past experiences. Learn from what you have been through. Build on past knowledge to get to a better place. Make a plan to the best of your abilities trying to think of all possible options you may have.

Just keep in mind you will never be able to think of everything. That means something, probably lots of things, are going to go wrong.

And it’s a guarantee that life will throw you a curveball. Life, after all, is definitely not all sunshine and rainbows.

The only certainty is that there will be uncertainties. Put that into your plan.

But once that’s done, the only thing left is a leap of faith. You HAVE to let go and jump into the void.

Then take it as it comes. Whatever happens, just keep putting one step after the other.

Make sure you are fighting all the way.

And when you get knocked down – and you WILL get knocked down – then just get the fuck back up. And plunge in again. And again. And again.

As many times as it takes to get you to your goal. Because that is the whole point of everything.

Don’t give up. Don’t falter. Don’t look back. Keep your eyes on the ball.

Because sitting down on what you know and staying there is never going to work. Is it?

 

YOUR DECISIONS MAKE YOUR DESTINY

But sadly, the reality is that is how most people stagnate. The vast majority will just go through life running on the wheel, and never getting anywhere. And blaming fate and circumstance for their lack of success.

Is this who you are going to be? Someone who never lets go and never get anywhere?

Or will you go for it and give it all you got?

Here is a little something to chew over.

You know, in life you never really fail. You just get a different places. Different vantage points, different perspectives, different options.

What’s so scary about that?

So just let go. Climb aboard and sail away with me. I am going the same place you are.

We got places to go. And promises to keep.

And miles to go before we sleep.

But as long as we keep putting one step after the other, we will get there.
