Challenge and win

Over the last few days....I have had various discussions with people whereby I have been finding out what has been going on in their lives (both personal and professional), and where they have been questioning the latest goings on in my life. What has it made me realise? How important it is to keep on challenging oneself, to keep the brain active, to not be a passenger on a train but the train driver!!!

Now, I am not saying that one must always be the driver, sometimes it is good to take a step back and let someone else take control temporarily. However, what is essential is that one is always in full knowledge of the direction, and the intended direction, even if that direction is the "unknown."

Life for me is about experience, learning and even if you don't want to....to at times not run away from an experience that is outside your comfort zone, rather run towards it. The alternative is to allow fear to control part(s) of one life, a mistake I made more than once in my life. "Feel the fear and do it anyway," a great phrase I heard many years ago. Simple and apt.
