Fear, that's the major reason why we stay in our comfort zone, the reason why we keep on standing on the same place where we were before, even if we are discontented, even how much we want to explore the world!
But if you are given just a day to live your life, would you like to spend your twenty four hours just by standing all alone? Would you like to start and end your one and only day by just watching people passing by? Ofcourse not, the first thing that would come in your mind is that you have to make that short time productive and meaningful, you'd like to experience all, you'd like to be happy, and most importantly, you'd like to be remembered! That's why you have to move and work for it, not later but NOW!
It requires a lot of courage to do things that we are not comfortable, to jump from one place to another, tremulous of what is the possible outcome of our curiosity, imagine that you are having fun with your classmates at enchanted kingdom, they all tried that big frightening ride called "space shuttle", and you, you are curious of what happened to them after those deafening screams, lets assume that it's your first time at enchanted huh, so you don't really know how it feels to ride that space shuttle, how would you experience the terrific moment of excitement if you can't overcome the fear that seems like cementing your feet on the ground? And after three days and 2 nights of encouragement, finally you decided to try it.
after almost 3 minutes of exposing yourself to somewhere out of this world, you've realized that an exultant and unexplainable happiness is awaiting for you for almost 3 days, imagined how much time you've wasted! Shit!
But that's just an example, the reality is that trying new things is part of the so called learning process, it requires growing in every aspects of life, yes we may encounter failures and rejection, but don’t worry, that’s still normal, as what they are saying “nobody’s perfect”, we all have our own failures, we all have ignorance within ourselves, we all have that characteristics called “katangahan!”, because that’s our nature, ooops! don’t deny it my dear I’m sure there’s a part of your life that you’ve said “ang tanga tanga ko naman!”, but remember, once you’ve experience how it is to be stupid and idiot, you’ve also learned how to be humble and wise, “Minsan ka lang maging bobo kung minsan sa buhay mo ay naging bobo ka na!”
Just like Magellan, in his expedition, he and his comrades gave to humanities the gift of learning that the Earth is round in shape (oblate spheroid as the scientists said the exact shape of it), at first, no one is believing in his capability to prove it, but as he take the courage, he also establish respect and dignity with his name, just like him,we must also explore the world, we have to make some change, who knows, maybe, you could be the next Magellan of this generation!
Always put in your mind that you only have 24 hours to live, so that you have to make this day a meaningful one!
But be prepared my dearest readers, as you take your first step outside your own world, make sure that you are responsible enough to face whatever the possible outcome of your own expedition, always put into your bag the precious things called carefulness and obligation to share to the people the fruits of success!
