It takes courage to step outta the comfort zone. Been there, done that. Friends and family were against me venturing into the unknown, warning me that its all too risky.
I felt trapped, not wanting to be sucked into the cocoon of culture where I came from, marriage, which promptly followed by getting a flat, fingers crossed followed by a car, and lastly off springs. That's too boring for me, I need more. My grand children (if I'm gotta have any) would be bored to death by the same old stories if I'm to stay behind. I craved for more.
So I left. Today, those who once tried to hold me back are envious of the quality of life I'm leading. Why be? It's down to the decision one makes. When opportunity knocks on the door, if you know what you are doing and believes in it, take the leap, before your commitments gets any heavier, take the leap! But bear in mind, there are sacrifices to be made to get there. No one says its gotta be easy, but faith would bring you there eventually.
