Note: The first part was written by ossie. i opted to write a bit more about it...
Why do we fear? Death, failure, humiliation; they all equate to nothing the moment you step outside your comfort zone.
Life is not a box, neither is the world. Beyond the fences we built around us are greater things - things so amazing that would make you wonder how more heavenly heaven really is. Choosing to contain yourself in the mere satisfaction of your four walls is denying your purpose that was hand-written for you. The universe is for us to marvel at, when we refuse to see what's beyond the sky at night, we underrate the artistry that was carefully stitched for us to delight in.
it is not a request for you to open up, it's a mandate.
===========================================
Oz is right about this one. We usually confine ourselves to the familiar and the known. The places we feel at home and the places we feel safe.
It's okay to stay in places like that, but then, there are more pressing choices that we need to take:
Either we stay in our comfort zones - unchanged, or move to the uncharted territory and learn... Learn that death isn't that scary, failures are just phases for us to learn, and humiliation is a time to learn how to be humble. .
Yes, the fear is there. We can heed to the fear and find ourselves controlled by it - discouraged by it, pounded to the ground and paralyzed, or we can have faith and step up.
It's either move out or keep out.
Be changed or unchanged.
Paralyzed or free.
Far or faith.
It's time to fear nothing and be free.
