On November 24th, Rhockaby is feeling : Audacious~
By the time I finish this, a call would have been made and a promise would have been kept. Go on, wonder what I'm talking about.
Some people lead life mediocrely. They don't jump to every opportunity, make best of every moment and don't take enough risks. But why should they? If people live a perfectly normal life, why fix something that isn't broken?
Because for some people, they're comfortable living a normal life. Routine after routine, day after day, living life as served to them. Me? I take the fight to the world. Routines are meant to be guidelines, not lifestyles. Risks are meant to be taken, not thoroughly analyzed.
People say modern day adventures don't exist. I say get off you Yahoo Messenger and You-Tube, stop the excessive shopping, get in line at a cafe and make small talk with the cashier while putting in your order. Learn the names of the waiters that serve you in your favorite restaurants, talk and be friend them. Learn to hold the door for the person behind you when entering or exiting, learn to say 'Hi!' before placing an order at a local fast food outlet. Small things, things that people neglect for fear of public reaction. Whats wrong with being friendly and out going? Whats wrong in being confidant and loving to speak up? Exactly, absolutely NOTHING.
Its called 'A leap of faith' for a reason. Despite the lack of empirical evidence to support your cause, confidence is all that you have when you take that step and soar. There is no guarantee that you'll reach the other side. There's always a risk of falling. There's always a chance of not making it. Who's to say the cashier will want to engage in small talk after you approach em. Who's to say that business op that you've undertaken will bloom you with riches. Who's to say Who's to say Who's to say ~
Think too much of the future and you'll be stuck in the present for ever. Learn to have faith in what you want and what you believe in. Most times rational is the way to go, other times its your gut and instincts that you should listen too. Or in other terms; what you heart tells you. I'm not saying that you should make choices solely based on cravings, sometimes the human mind can be so blinded by obsession that they'll do some ridiculous things! Find a balance, know when to take risks, know when to be confidant, know when to speak up and speak your mind. Take that leap of faith cause I assure you when you do land on the other side, it'll be all worth it.
A word of warning. With a great boost in confidence, your crashes in life become more devastating. You will suffer more than others, no BS. But you'll fall down, and you'll get up. And you'll fall again, and you'll get up again. And each time you get up you get stronger. You learn how to cope, you learn how to lean on others for support, you learn how to recover to a point that you surprise even yourself. Then life really begins, when you are not afraid to enjoy the best things in life without worrying too much bout what the outcome may be. The good things in life, the finer things in life, the way life should be lived, to the fullest!
Live life to the max. You'll live longer if you do :)
