Meme on Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

 

I just hope memes will be an effective means to make people realize it is important to open your window and smell the coffee ... where you breathe fresh air and imbibe the positive vibes that are floating in the air. 

Really I am dumb-founded and I can't hold back my punches anymore. I really don't understand how people manage to make themselves victims of injustice by locking themselves away and throwing the key ... just because they want comfort and they need a safety net away from the peering and the judgemental eyes of their peers ... and from the demands of what seems a cruel world for them.

Coming out of your shell is an opportunity to move your head around and understand what things have you deprived your selves of experiencing. If you are content with having adobo all your life ...  that's fine. But did you realize there may be other options you have to try other than Filipino food? 

Have you heard of Korean samgyeopsal ... hearing it the first time ... were you not intrigued by what the experience of eating it would be? Hearing it is different ... from actually eating and tasting it. If you don't like the taste at least you know that will be the first and the last time you will order it. Iba ang natikman mo ... kaysa sasabihin mong ayaw mo nito kahit wala kang ideya kung ano ang lasa nito. Baka wala ka lang pera kaya sarado ang isip mo?

Katulad ng pangalawang meme ... the turtle really has to stick out his head to acquire knowledge and learn new things. Learning new things will allow you to understand and be aware of what the world is all about and how you fit into its mold and its challenges. It will also pave the way for curiosity to set in ... making you explore and experiment.

Once you have decided to step out of your shell, you gain new understanding and insight and the boost of courage that you wouldn't have otherwise. 

And here me on this: if you allow fear of the unknown to handcuff you back to your cave, it will put you in shackles for the rest of your life - and there will be no growth in you - yes you have germinated - but it's after effect have stunted your development... and that really didn't equip you the "self-belief" and the confidence needed to determine your purpose.
