The Wonder of Wonder
Have you ever said …. “I wonder …” when faced with a decision or situation that requires change on your part? Have you wondered just long enough that you never made that change? Of course you have. You’re human.
The one true thing about change is that without it … we’re doomed. Doomed to repeat our mistakes, doomed to apathy, doomed to complacency. Just plain doomed. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Not at all.
In life we reach levels of comfort. That soft place where we don’t have to change. Where we can muddle along, living by rote not inspiration. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t change. It doesn’t mean that if we ignore those nagging feelings of wonder that somehow we will be alright. Nope … doesn’t mean that at all.
It’s natural to fear what we don’t understand or can’t see. There’s no shame in that. The shame is in not embracing opportunities. Opportunities to grow, learn, test, challenge, experiment, experience, feel, touch, smell and be. Like the Army says … Be all you can be! But are you ready to do that? Really? Are you sure?
Well, if you’re ready to challenge wonder … to feel the excitement, experience the unknown, and BE … then we should talk. You will never know what waits for you if you don’t look out that window … If you don’t reach just a little higher … a little further …
“What we think or what we know
or what we believe is, in the
end, of little consequence.
The only consequence is what we do”
- John Ruskin
“I Wonder”. I like the way you think. I often wonder that if I stuck with a plan from the beginning of my real estate career, instead of jumping from thing to thing, I would be so much better off now. If I started over I would follow my instincts. Yhat’s what I’m finally doing and I’m loving it.
Hello Carol – This is a great post about stepping out of your comfort zone and the importance of doing so. It’s not always easy, but it is usually worth it.
