Life

"Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle."
Annie Besant

Are you scared of setting out into an unknown country? Many of us are scared of change and fight against it with everything in us. We cling to old traditions and "the way it's always been done" like a security blanket. But just as a child needs to give up his security blanket as he matures, we must give up the desire for everything in our lives to remain the same. We were meant to learn and grow, and in order to do that, we must be able to embrace the changes, which will inevitably happen.

Life really is an adventure, and unless we see it that way, we will never have any fun. In the adventure of life, we can never know what will happen in the future so we need to be prepared to adapt to anything and everything. It is the very unpredictability of life that makes it exciting, challenging, and interesting. We are only bored when nothing new is happening. We can't have any fun unless we surprise ourselves with new knowledge about what we can do, in other words unless we can meet new challenges successfully.

In the best of lives, you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle. There is excitement and passion in this kind of life. There is fun, success, and real happiness, even though there are battles that you will fight and lose. Those losses will strengthen you for the next battle, when you learn from them. This is the life nobly inspired and rightly lived.

I am setting off on a new adventure, moving to another country to begin a new life. Therefore, there will be no blog posts untill I get myself organized with access to a computer. This might be a week or more. I appreciate your patience!
