We get so engrossed with what the Society expects from us, people's opinion especially concerning our capabilities.
What happened to those carefree days? When we were fearless enough to try riding a bicycle with or without a helmet, When we could stand up, dust ourselves up after eating "dust" and try again and again until we master the craft of bicycle riding.
When did fear start to
take precedence in our lives? For me, I think I became conscious of fear when I ventured into the wider world; filled with
responsibilities and away from the safe haven that was lovingly provided by my
mum (yels, I am was her baby). Now I have to think of being a strong and
self-sufficient woman which entails making the right decisions and sometimes
being toooo careful.
I think we all secretly yearn for those
responsibility free-fearless-don't give a hoot about societal opinion days.
When we can try out new ideas boldly without being held back by the fear of
failure and venture out of our sometimes boring Comfort Zones and FEEL
LIFE.
On rare occasions, I come across
people I like to call "dream weavers"; people who know what they want
and are not limited by fear in getting it, no matter the number of times they
fall / fail, they just keep getting up and trying again and again.
Such people are a breath of fresh air but I keep wondering where they get their strength from *thinking*, abi did God use a different kind of clay in creating them *thinking more*...:).

comfort zones? what keeps your blood pumping?...we want to know :).

ReplyDeleteSometimes our fears are as a result of our upbringing, societal influence or religious teachings but there's nothing bad in taking a calculated risk. If u re sure of what u re about to do y not give it a trial? Afterall if u fail to try then u re trying to fail, fear of unknown is normal cos life decisions are to b taken carefully

ReplyDeleteThanks y'all (Dream Weavers) for your comments :)...Determination and Demystification of our Fears is the Watchword I guess.
