But don't fool yourself. It won't be easy. Yet it will always be fulfilling.
The mere embrace of taking the first step toward the "unknown" is always admirable, most often envied. And the people who dare brand you as "foolish" should look at themselves in the mirror and admit to themselves that it is them who is foolish for not taking the first step... for not taking that leap of faith.
What to Expect When Embarking on an Unknown Journey...
Expect the unexpected. And it will be plentiful. Be ready. It will be a roller coster ride. Have fun. Smell the roses along the way. It will be long. There will be hills. There will be days where you wish you hadn't taken that first step. But there will be rewards as well. There will be trials and challenges along the way. There will be thoughts of discouragement but persevere.
Everyone who is successful had persevered, probably more than you and I. And that's why they are where they are. While you and I were contemplating, they were doing. While you and I were complacent, they where moving. While you and I were experiencing instant gratification, they were creating their long term satisfaction.
There Is No Fail-Safe Switch!
The methodology of embarking on an unknown journey is to disable the "fail-safe" switch in your mindset. You cannot go on a journey with the thought that if you ever fail, there will be something to fall back on. You cannot fail! It's should be a one way street. And the reason why failure will never exist on this path is because you will be better than you were the moment you take the first step. You have to move forward and win! You have to strive hard to succeed.
How can you fail when every step you take forward is a step ahead of whoever remains still? Ooh! I like what I just wrote!
Appreciate the Journey
Sometimes, what's at the end of the journey is not what we expect it to be. Don't feel let down. It was really the journey that we were meant to experience. The destination always becomes the point of origin of the next unknown journey!
Live life!
