WHO wouldn't want a comfortable life and do things that are beyond your capacity? It's effortless and safe. But boring. Yes, the usual things that you do can get boring if that's what you always do without trying something different once in a while. Staying in your comfort zone can mean closing your doors from improvements and new learnings. Taking risks and walking towards an unknown road is understandably scary. You have no idea what's going to happen. You don't know what to look forward. Yeah, chickening out is understandable. But you cannot let your fear rule you.

Taking risks will lead you to a new path that can give you new things to ponder on. Don't be afraid of the possible results. Failures are inevitable and you can only overcome them by treating them as tools in order to succeed in life. Each time you fall, you get up with a renewed strength and new armour. You become stronger each time you fail. It's easier said than done but life is all about taking risks. Staying in your comfort zone wouldn't lead you to anything. Your learnings are limited and you'll always be afraid to try new things.

Of course, there are also some factors to consider before you take a risk. You can't just make a sudden decision just because you thought it's a good idea. For me, that's called reckless. You have to think before you jump ito something that is unknown. Think but not overthink. Is it going to help you become a better person with a better life? Is it worth risking for? Do you have enough armours to win this battle? Can you handle defeat? Are you ready for pain and disappointment in case things wouldn't go according to your will? Most of all, what's your main reason for doing it?

Living your life means making decisions—both simple and complicated—and having enough courage to face and deal with the repercussions. It can get stressful and sometimes too hard to handle. It will test your patience and faith. But if you believe in yourself and you trust that you can survive on whatever storm life will give you, then you're good. Always think of everything that comes into your life as either blessings or lessons. That way, you are only allowing positive things to get inside your life. Embrace each challenges, accept it, experience it and prepare to learn lots of things.

So, if there's something you have always wanted to do but you've been so afraid to actually do it, this is the sign you've asked for. I am telling you to think about it one last time, take a deep breath, and go for it! Just do it!

You are stronger than what you think.

You can do it.

Believe me.

Believe in yourself.
