It is well known that the human mind and body must endure hardship in order to improve and expand our horizons. This is something all of us are familiar with.
Although, most of us will only be willing to endure the hardships if they are obligatory to our survival. From that, an issue may stem.
The issue of course, is that of conformity, as conformity is not necessarily synonymous with happiness. A lack of happiness can create a lack of creativity and motivation, which results in poor performance and/quality of our work.
Many of us assume that our conformity keeps us safe. That we cannot be harmed, and that it's more beneficial to play it safe. We couldn't be more mistaken. While in comfort we may feel like the world cannot harm us, but we forget that our happiness decays as we sit inside and wait until all things feel right. A wise friend recently told me, that things will never be completely alright. And this is a reality we all face.
So it becomes an ultimatum of sorts. We can live safely, but unhappy, or we can risk our safety in favor of the thrills and the lows we will get out in the open. The latter of which I believe brings us happiness, and therefore contributes to our creativity and productivity.
We have all made many mistakes. We've all said things we've regretted, but we've also refrained from saying things we now regret repressing. Mistakes are obligatory for growth. This is the reality we must face. The humiliation is usually something we inflict on ourselves.
We need to fear not how many times we 're hurt, or the what if's of lost opportunities. We can only fear for what we'll weep about when we realize all the growth we could of accomplished by making those mistakes.
I'm tired of weeping. I've been broken before. It's now time for me to break again.
