I hope we can all agree that a roller coaster that fails to thrill us is not much of a ride. - Seth Godin
Who want's a boring life? One that is the same day after day. I definitely don't. If you don't either, I have just one question for you. What are you doing today that will bring that thrill to your life?
Seth Godin has a great point in his book "What to do When It's Your Turn [and it's always your turn]"He mentions this story from Franz Kafka about a cage in search of a bird. You see the whole point of the cage is to contain a bird, and it will never be fulfilled until that goal is met. Seth brings up an interesting point though. The reverse is more true. In life we search out our cage, we constantly look for a place to go and lay low. A place where it is "Safe". That is where the idea of your comfort zone comes from. The sad part is we life a life that is stuck in that cage. We never end up leaving. We never get that roller coaster to thrill us.
What is stopping you from doing what will thrill your life? Is it fear, a low self worth, or perhaps you just can't make a difference? Well I'm telling you now that you can always make a difference. Its hard but you can. If it is low self worth why not make that thrill that can bring you worth? Lastly fear... I have learned that there are certain fears that i can not overcome. I have faced them head on over and over again but I am still afraid. I'm not saying that you shouldn't face your fears. I'm saying you should become familiar with it. Dance with your fear. Learn what it means to not live a life without fear, but to embrace it fully and show that your fears wont hold you back from being who you want to be.
