Forward or Backward?
"In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety."- Abraham Maslow.
In life, the best and easiest place a man knows best to go is backwards because, it is the safest place on the face of the earth.
Why would anyone decide that don't want to grow? You would ask.
It may sound funny, but it is only those who have an abnormal kind of resolve that will prefer to step back into safety than into growth.
When you get too comfortable with being in your safe zone, you will find it really hard to move out of that comfortable sphere into an unfamiliar terrain.
I prefer to take a step forward and far away from the comfortable terrain that seems all so cool and welcoming.
I have always known about the pain being tied up in your preferred safety zone can bring a man because, comfort can really be misleading if it becomes what you hold dear than living life on the edge of uncertainty.
As with moving out, true happiness is more close to you than anything else. It is also far away from that spot where you decide there is no place else to go.
Step out and embrace growth far away from safety. You cannot tell your tale about a land you have never visited.
To tell stories of exploits and wins, you must be in the strangest of lands to experience it. You need to be able to tell your story while you never stop moving forward.

The journey is indeed the reward, and the reward becomes available when the journey is embarked on.
Stay awesome!
We can find our rewards every day if we really want to see them but sometimes we walk with closed eyes and can’t recognize the beauty on our path because the mud covers it all .....

Sometimes I need courage to take a new path.
If I go down the new path, I will have new experiences again.
I can only learn something by choosing new directions.
Thank you for your interesting article.
