Don’t Be Afraid To Try New Things

Life is a risk. You are not here to play with your life. You are not here to waste your time. You are here to make a difference, to touch other people’s lives, to change what you can change.

If you do not take risks, life is going anyway. If you are too scared to do the work, other people are getting the job done anyway.

If you do not want to learn, to grow, if you are too comfortable to try new things, other people are trying new things anyway. When they are done, they will leave you behind.

Is that what you want for yourself? Is that how you want to live your life? What do you want people to say about you when you are gone? What do you want them to call you? Lazy? Serious? Nice? Poor? Broke? Angry? Success? Successful? Failure? Or a loser?

The choice is yours. And yours only. If you do not want your life to be like that, you have got to take risks. You have got to be uncomfortable in your comfort zone.

You have got to stay open to what is possible. And a lot of things are possible.

To know what you can do, you must try. To know what is possible, you have got to leave where you are. To say it another way, you have got to go there.

Will you go there? Do you have the courage to go there?

Whether you have the courage or not, remember that all things are possible.

You are more, not less!

How To Build The Life You Want

In the words of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan, ‘Obstacles present no hindrance, for they open new avenues of intellectual advance.’

When you face a problem, what do you? Do you give up? Do you just say, ‘I am done. I can’t do it?’

Or do you try to figure things out? This is better. It is better to face what is in front of us than to leave it and just walk away.

Yes, you can walk away if it is not what you are really interested in, or what you want to do with your life.

‘You never build the life you want by getting lost in things you don’t want.’- Dan Rockwell

Because staying with what is not working is a waste of time.

If something is not going to make you a better human being, let it go. If you are not enjoying what you are doing, why do it?

Do not waste your time. Whatever it is that is NOT making you happy, that is stressing you, that is not adding anything to your life, if possible, let it go.

‘You can get what you want if you are willing to let go of what you do not want.’

Let it go. Because you need more time to do other important things, to live a better life, and to do a better work.

Because you can’t win by playing not to lose. You can’t win by not taking more risks. You can’t get what you want by keeping what you have. Because life is about investment.

To get more, you must invest more. You must do more. Learn more. And love more. The question is, will you do it? Do you have the courage to face what is right in front of you?
