Why is it that we are so afraid of the new, the different, change. I think for me it is because it makes me feel out of control.
When I am in a comfort zone, the place where I feel safe and comfy (hence the name!!) - the place where I don't have to stretch myself - I feel secure, in control. But when change comes, I am stretched, I stand the chance of failing, and even worse for people to perceive me as a failure. Heaven forbid! Things are out of my control...
But it is exactly at this place that I grow, that I learn, that I have new experiences. And that I can learn more about myself. Maybe I wont fail! Maybe I will be really good at this!
But oh the fear... what if I fail, what if you don't like me anymore - because I am not what you thought I would be/I can't do what you thought I could do.
Today I am throwing myself into the new!
I am choosing to revel in it, to enjoy it, to celebrate every moment of it.
And if I fail, I fail!
But wow, I plan having fun, living my life to the full, in the process!
