Embarking on a trip is never easy. Exciting at times, yes, but not without a bit of trepidation. Fear not. It is the unknown that brings fright. You grow far too comfortable in your house slippers. Peel them off and step out in new shoes. They may take a bit of breaking in, but they will wrap around your feet just right after a while. And what happens then? After a while you will have grown—and grown used to these new shoes as well. Time to trade them in for a sturdier pair of boots and march on with confidence.
Life is like that—always asking you to readjust, to set aside that with which you have become comfortable, and strike out in new directions. Enjoy a little comfort for a while, then challenge yourself. Challenge is good for the soul. Ego likes its soft slippers. There is nothing wrong with a little comfort, but you are here to stretch and grow. Beware of growing too comfortable.
