I have recently been given an opportunity to finally leave this comfortable life of mine and the more I have thought about this opportunity, the only reason I can think of to not take it is driven by fear. I have a bad attitude about leaving my comfort zone, yet I am miserable in it. I have proven to myself that when I’m put in these uncomfortable situations, I can try to reject it and have a bad time but these experiences are the best for me and I always end up having an incredible time. I have this inner adventurous side of me that has been peeking out for a couple of years now. I have half-assed followed through on these adventures and now it is time for me to commit to them.
I am dejected in my life and I have been for a while now. My intentions to leave my home were made clear years ago but I have settled for far less than what I wanted. I feel my potential lies elsewhere and rather than riding the opportunity train that has passed by a few times, I just waved at it. That is what happens to everybody as time goes by; you say you will do something, want something more and as the days grow shorter and then longer, you think of excuses not to do whatever it is that will make you happy. I have no more excuses and neither do you, whoever may be reading this.
I pick up aspirations from time to time whether I find them in a fortune cookie or a popsicle stick. I like to think that those words have found me for a reason. Recently, I read my Virgo horoscope that I usually pass by in the newspaper and it was extremely fitting toward my current situation. It read:
“Your time is up, Virgo. No further stalling will be allowed. We need your answer now: Will you or will you not take advantage of the messy but useful offer that is on the table? Don’t ask for an extension because you ain’t getting one. Please take advantage of this chance to prove that you love yourself too much to get hoodwinked and abused by perfectionism. Be brave enough to declare your allegiance to the perspective articulated by the mathematician Henri Poincare. ‘There are no solved problems. There are only more-or-less solved problems’”
Do I believe the stars align and astrologically predict what will happen in my life, what decisions I will make, whether it will rain or snow? Absolutely not, but this horoscope contained thoughtful words that made me think. I need to make decisions in my life for myself, I need to go on an adventure that will help me learn more about me, I need to bring my life to life. What if this horoscope is right? What if my extensions are over? What if this is my last chance to ignite the fire beneath me? I need to do something; if not take this opportunity, create another but one thing is for sure; I need to do it now. I cannot go on much longer with my strings detached from a lot of responsibility and I cannot stay in the position I am in right now, knowing I have more potential and wanting so much more.
This may not be the journalistic piece that you thought you would be reading: that’s the point. This is a thought of optimism written by an ordinary person that wants more. I am no different than anybody else; the focal goal of this article is to inspire, if it be only myself, than that is one more person in the world willing to be extraordinary.
