I look forward to doing things out of the ordinary because I know that, by going outside of my comfort zone, I am equipping myself for a brighter future.
My past prepares me for the future, but I let go of the idea that what I have gone through previously will dictate my fate. I let go of the fear that has kept me repeating the same patterns over and over and, instead, I reach for something new and better!
I recognize that the path is not always straight and clearly lit. I let go of the idea that I must be able to see every eventuality before I start out. If I can see the step in front of me, that is enough.
This is frightening at times, yet I let go of the idea that I should be able to branch out without nervousness. Jitters – and even outright fear – are inevitable when I step into unfamiliar territory. I do not berate myself for my anxiety; instead, I merely make the choice to step out anyway, to push on through any fear I may feel.
I know that life is full of opportunities for growth, creativity, and happiness, but I must take the initiative to reach for them. I do so eagerly, despite my hesitancies, because I crave a depth of richness and fulfillment that is only available to me.
I am willing to let go of my past, so I can enjoy the gifts of a new world of experiences.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Have I been allowing my past to decide my future?
2. Do I allow nervousness or fear to stop me from taking action?
3. What risks do I need to take in order to reach for a deeper and richer life?
