Discovery

“One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.”
Andre Gide

Are you afraid to step out into the great unknown? Does the thought of leaving your comfort zone make you nervous? People get used to doing things in certain ways. Perhaps it's the way your friends or family do things. Perhaps it's the way that everyone you know does things. We tend to hang around with people who think the same way we do and do things the same way that we do. They are all in pretty much the same comfort zone that we are. So we just think that is the way life is supposed to be. It's what we know.

But human beings are not meant to be comfortable and satiated. Sometimes we get restless. We want to learn and grow. Our soul yearns to discover new lands. We go and buy a ship. And then the comforts of home call us back. This is an important junction. If we go home now, we will probably stay there. If we are to discover new lands, we have to lose sight of the shore. We have to forget about the comforts back home. We have to look forward and focus on the excitement of finding that which our soul yearns for. It takes courage and dedication. But the rewards are immense.
