" You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore. "
- William Faulkner
Human brains are hardwired to settle down where there is no effort needed to make a change. We are afraid to put our vulnerability on the line as there is risk involved and we tend to avoid it. We focus on what might go wrong instead of focusing on the process to achieve it.
We are wired to both underestimate and overestimate our ability to handle any situation. That's why most of the time we avoid looking at the bigger picture because we are so busy holding on to the things we have now.
To grow in life and swim to new horizons, you need to have the courage to lose sight of what you have now.
