The sky ain’t the limit
It feels like a platitude when an elderly speaks: “If one wants to be successful in life, one should never be afraid, of nothing, and of no one.” However, clichés exist for a reason. Most times, it’s the fear of failure, shame, or our inexperience holding us back. Life is a big dark cave, and we, humans, are in the middle of it with just a flashlight. As the cave is dark, and we don’t know what the darkness will bring, it feels tempting to want to spend our entire lives in the small area we can see. However, if we were to overcome our fear, get out of our comfort zone, and dare to explore, we would see life is all about discovery. There will, naturally, be difficult times during this journey, yet this does not mean we should stop trying and fighting. Only when we stop worrying about what might happen next, we can then achieve success.
