It’s easy to notice what’s
in the center of my mind.
Familiar territory,
thinking paths,
and crossroads.
No surprises.

But do I notice
what’s happening
in the edges of my mind?

I seldom visit that territory,
thinking paths taken over
by growing flora.
I might get lost, and pump into
completely alien thoughts.

On the edges, however,
is the potential of my renewal.
Is it fear that stops me
from wandering there?
Or laziness?

I decide to open up borders,
curiosity is my shield of safety.
Of course, I can fall off
from the edge,
but I can also soar up
to the new skies of my mind.

Coaching Corner:
- (reflect alone) On the edge of your mind, is there a thought that you have never dared to think? Or a never-asked question you should ask yourself?
- (start dialogue) Who do you want to encounter, on the edge? What happens when you meet? Which opportunity do you lose, in case you don’t meet?
- (write a response in Medium) If you wish, share your thoughts and actions around this article. Let’s co-learn.
