Much of this world is too scared to leave the normalcy of their lives and branch out to something new. We never really know anything different or better until we get out and try it. Life is so easy when you don't know how much better things can be, yet it's amazing how life changing it can be when we open ourselves to something new. It can get infinitely better. We shouldn't be afraid of change...it's often for the better. Change can come about in so many ways though - over-night or over a life time. Reacting to this is up to us but can change the outcomes, especially if we're not careful and respectful to both time and fate. Playing by the rules makes things safe, but allows for too many things to go unnoticed and without trial. Being able to put yourself out there and stand out is something that not everyone is able to do. Maybe we're not meant to achieve everything in this world, but it's sure a good challenge to try and see how things work out.

As children, I'm sure we all played the game that involved avoiding all the cracks in the sidewalk so that we wouldn't "break our mothers' backs." Shouldn't we be wanting to take the risk and see the consequences? It's how we learn and move forward in life...falling down and being able to pick ourselves back up again. No one is able to get through life unscathed or without harming someone else. It's all part of the journey whether we like it or not. The only way that we're able to overcome it is if we're able to stand out, lose all sense of self-awareness, and realize that life's too short to care about what people think, what an outcome will be, or what the plan for the rest of the week is. Worry about now and everything will fall into place as it should.
