I remembered a story that came to mind about a young girl who was given the keys to a golden opportunity to have wealth and enjoy an incredible life of journeying with others to far off distant lands, the only thing she had to do was leave everything behind her.
When the time came for her decision as tempting and tantalising as it all felt, she declined as she wanted nothing more than to stay with what she already knew, although not as exciting an offer had ever come her way before, with a curious yet cautious mind set her decision on playing it safe. Her keen sense of adventure and curiosity for new experiences gave her a sense of freedom because she was born into a community and family of honour and stealth beliefs.
Here I will leave the conclusion or definite purpose up to the reader of her intention and to take note.
Starting from a point of “what you already know “ to stay safe is an interesting thought, you can look at this differently depending on your perception of it. Creating new and expanded thoughts can bring about a sense of excitement and desirability for more learning.
What you already know, you already know...it is admirable to the person with a history of knowledge base and know how.
When you reach your decision, is it final and how did you come to that?
“To stay safe” is debateable and to step out of a safety zone is the decision to say YES or No!

Good morning Faenza. A lovely Sunday morning read, thanks.
I guess that staying safe is a certain type of ignorance, It can be masked with feelings of comfort and bliss, nothing to exciting, nothing to dull and the sense of control a person may like. “ If I do no more, I will be satisfied with my life.” The fear of the unknown. What a dull life! Those who can expand, who can be uncomfortable will know an excellent and vibrant existence. “ Because I do more, my life does satisfy me, I am not fearful for I am flexible, I do not know but I can discover the answer, here is the edge, I will jump” Yes, yes, yes!
Hi Faenza, it is so right that we all feel comfortable staying in where we are but nothing's gonna change or start until we actually get out the box! Steven Linton says that how to instruction is written outside the box so have to get out the box to make it happen! Thank you for letting me share and for your article!
