Life fully lived
If you never attempt anything, you will never make any
mistakes. But you will also never enjoy the fruits of
accomplishment.
If you never venture out into life, you will never have the
pain of disappointment. Yet you will eventually know the
even greater pain of regret for never having followed your
best possibilities.
If you never go beyond what is comfortable and familiar, you
won't run into any unpleasant surprises. You also will never
make any exciting new discoveries.
It can seem enticing to stay securely protected within the
walls of your comfort zone. After a short while, though, it
becomes very empty.
Think for a moment how truly blessed you are that life is
yours to be lived. Then make the most of each opportunity to
fully live it.
Immerse yourself in the challenges and the triumphs, the
disappointments and the joys, the uncertainty and the wonder
of a life fully lived. And you'll find real treasure in
every moment.
