cool change

When do you know you're ready to plunge into something new? What's the decisive sign that will make you leave all your doubts behind, all your what ifs and just go straight through and experience something different?

Making choices is difficult more so if it's about going outside your comfort zone. The novelty, the strangeness... they make you feel as if you're out of place, a stupid uninitiated soul lost in a different league. Worse, what if you then realize that going beyond what you've been accustomed to isn't exactly the best idea. That the things you sacrificed to make that step are far more precious than the things you've gained? Can you be consoled with hopes that someday, somehow the big leap will pay-off and it will pay-off way more than you have ever imagined?
I once told a friend that it's not about going outside your box, it's about redefining one's walls to include new people, new places, new experiences and in the process finding new sources of solace. Hmmm, very insightful but still very difficult to hold on to. But then that's what life is about right? Taking risks and hoping that everything will turn out well. And the essence of faith is not hanging on dearly but surrendering oneself to things unknown.

Time for a cool change?

Sige ba!
