Push Forward

"We can't be afraid of change.  You may feel very secure

in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out

of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as 

an ocean, a sea.  Holding onto something that is good

for you now, may be the very reason why you don't 

have something better."

C. JoyBell C.

Happiness arrives in our lives and we are ecstatic!  Our minds are filled with security, and our hearts feel as though they will be bursting with joy forever.  Eventually, however, the excitement wears off and we are living in a state of contentment. We do not want to present as being selfish by wanting to add more.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing situations continuing to expand and enhance our minds, bodies, and souls.  We have been made to be multi purpose, with varying degrees of skills and visions. Underlying our desire to pursue fear lurks. We don't want to risk disturbing the contentment in our comfort zone; but we can push ourselves forward.

If we happen to be young with little to no personal time, claim a point of interest and begin to make a collage on a large piece of cardboard.  Stick on a picture reflecting the goal representing the future, and repeat over a period of time.  If we have free time in our lives, let's claim it and strike out on a new adventure...go back to school, participate in local artistic workshops or plan a visit.  Utilize empty spaces and watch the dynamics of life begin to free flow!
