STRETCH Yourself…!!!

STRETCH Yourself…!!!

It has been a lovely and a beautiful day today in Dublin, Ireland, as mostly is on many days.

Ø How far are you willing to stretch yourself?

Ø How far are you willing to go with yourself?

Ø How far would you push yourself?

Ø What does feel comfortable to you?

Ø What would make you think twice before considering going after it?

In order to grow as a person, to stretch our personality, to broaden our horizons, to learn about ourselves and the world around us, we need to constantly place ourselves outside of our comfort zone.

Is there something, anything, that you would not see yourself doing, at all?

What would that be?

ü Would that be going to the church even though you are a non-believer?

ü Would that be starting a workout regime even though you have never been to the gym before?

ü Would that be attending a concert or a gig of a band you dislike the most in the whole entire world?

ü Would that be finally accepting a date from a person who has been very nice to you recently even though you have been hurt and disappointed in the past and are afraid of being sad and upset yourself again and not making the other person happy?

ü What would be the one thing that would be totally mind blowing and absolutely out of question for you to do and act on?

ü Are you not particularly a cultural based person, and going to the theatre would mean a great difficulty and a transition-needed-time thing for you?

ü What situation would be absolutely, utterly and totally embarrassing for you?

ü Would talking / speaking / meeting certain person be a disaster scene for you?

ü What would be for you the one very activity that would make you stretch yourself enormously and grow and learn and remember and ponder and think and feel and broaden you to the very point of extreme ecstasy?

ü What else is there that comes to your mind?

In a life, there are no failures, only stepping stones that lead us to the victory, that show us the way that we should take next. Mistakes are learning opportunities for us to grow if we see them that way, too. Challenges are what ‘mistakes’ should be replaced for and by as an expression.

Are we going to play small, keep being afraid and scared of doing the very things that bring us joy, happiness, health, bliss and possibly eternally sunny days? Or are we going to step up, take the rain and be the captains of our ships, while enjoying the ride, tasting the fruits on our journey and having fun along the way?

5 or 10 or 15 or 20 years from now we would regret things we did not do, rather than those we did.

So, what are you waiting for?!? J

Find a reason, a purpose greater & bigger than yourself!!
