Fear
Fear is one of the most expensive things to buy in life. It doesn’t matter if we never directly confront some situations, like approaching the girl you like or going out at night. Even in the presence of strangers, self-consciousness causes us to feel uneasy and passive, watching others move forward while we remain stuck in our own thoughts, worrying about how we are perceived by others and anticipating their reactions.
In my opinion, fear causes our vulnerabilities, causing us to overlook opportunities nearby and hesitate to begin a fundamental life transformation, such as traveling the world and collecting unique experiences to share. While fear could shield you from immediate harm, how long will you continue to remain idle in your current position? For how much longer will you continue repeating the same actions, even though it is obvious to you that you are trapped in your comfort zone like a spider stuck in a web with no chance of escaping? Ask yourself if you are adequate, if this is where you envisioned yourself in 20 years, if this is the essence of being a grown-up, how you arrived here, and at the core of it all lies a shared element known as FOMO.
Consider how far I would have come by now if I had stuck with that business plan, how many hearts I would have touched by now if I had continued to make music, and how many souls I could have saved by now if I had volunteered to help.I understand that taking risks can be difficult at times, but it’s actually easy because it’s easy to begin and uncomplicated.
However, the major obstacle to progress is the COMFORT ZONE. We enjoy being in a familiar environment even if it doesn’t advantage us. We are hesitant to end the relationships we have formed in order to pursue advancement, but I want to say that change is one of the toughest challenges we encounter, yet change is unavoidable. We dislike change because we become settled in our current state. We become accustomed to our friends, our job, our living location, and even if it’s not ideal, we embrace it due to its familiarity. We become stagnant because of our resistance to change, preventing us from progressing towards what God intends for us. Simply being blessed by God in your current situation does not give you the permission to become complacent and stay in one place. You must remain receptive to the current work of God. What was effective five years ago might not be effective now. Being open to change is essential for achieving success. Not every blessing is meant to last forever. Not every provision is meant to be permanent. We need to consistently assess our friendships. Who are you allowing to influence you? On whom are you relying? Ensure they are not holding you back, preventing you from thriving. Not everyone is meant to stay in our lives permanently. If you keep the wrong friends, you will never encounter the right friends.
Close off the voices in your mind and pursue advancement. I appreciate it. Please show your support for the cause.
