How do you deal with a situation when you know what you are about to do is the craziest, freakiest thing on earth, but you know you yearn to do it? Go all out and get crazy, or hold yourself back and act sensible? Dare to tread the untrodden, or take the much-walked path of certainty. Throw yourself into the unknown, or make the known your companion for life? Dare to risk, or dare to never risk? Follow your heart, or follow the herd?
The eternal dilemma of “What if the risk never pays off?” versus “If only I had risked what could have been!”
A quote I read somewhere: “When you have come to the edge of all light that you know, and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, Faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly”.
I know this is my only chance to live, and I choose to live every moment to the fullest. Being in unknown terrains will open up a world of opportunities, test my courage, resolve and bravery to my highest limits, take my imagination and creativity to levels I would have never known existed. It would force me to live to my highest possible potential, thus evolving a new ‘me’ that I do not know today. Would there be pain and disappointment? Sure there will! But find me a life without pain and disappointment and I promise I will give up this crazy dream. Till then, don’t wake me up!
An excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet:
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?
