“Yeah, and I hope the picture painted clear
If your heart filled with faith, then you can’t fear”
T.I. on “No Matter What“
Sometimes in life, you have to take risks. It’s easy to get comfortable in habits and stay in a secure place. In fact, it’s completely normal. But in order to excel, it’s important to venture outside of your comfort zone and see what life has to offer. It can be scary, unsettling, and nerve-wrecking. I mean, you’re going into a place of uncertainty. But in times like those, you gotta remind yourself to have faith. And when you’re confident, it can become a great thing. So, let’s get into all that…and to new beginnings.
First of all though, welcome! Welcome to the Ajaxxx.com August 2019 Opinions Column (just made it, phew lol). For those that are new to the site, this is where I talk about whatever is on my mind. For those returning, welcome back! And now, let’s get into it.
So new beginnings…what’s that all about? Well, this past month I decided to end an era in an effort to take on something fresh. I’m breaking away from the old and embracing something new. I wrestled with the idea of leaving my comfort zone (even though it became uncomfortable in recent months). But, deep down inside I knew it was the right move to make. If I continued to stay the course within my comfort zone, I’d be limiting my personal development. I’d be hindering growth and that’s not a good thing. I believe that in life, you gotta keep improving. So yeah, I decided to take on a new adventure.
It’s hard. I thought about the places I’d be leaving, the relationships I’d be breaking, and the feeling that I had. But I dunno, the more I thought about it, the more I told myself that change is a good thing and this is a good move. Don’t be nostalgic and hold on to the past; instead, be optimistic for an exciting future and go towards that. I dunno how I’m feeling like this or why I’m so non-attached, but I guess sometimes you just know. You know that in order to achieve greatness, you have to aim high. And so, here we go.
I’m going to be changing up how I spend my time in the coming weeks and months. I need to focus on new goals and achieving them. If there was ever a time to make these moves, it’s right now. So yeah, if you’re also feeling stuck and/or stagnant, think about what I said. It’s easy to get comfortable – but at some point, if you want to be successful you have to jump.
It’s all about taking a leap of faith. If you’re confident and you know you can do it, then go for it. No regrets.
And with that said, I’m gonna be out, y’all. I got work to do! Stay up, stay safe, and hold ya head…Ajaxxx signing out, PEACEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
