I was wrong, I am outside the herd

In every day of our lives, we encounter challenges which are very difficult to be overcome promptly. I am sure, if you take a moment now, you would remember at least couple of them faced today. Being in the front seat, under the spotlight, we are exposed to opportunities and threats continuously. We seek resolution and wisdom, we try to reach out to solutions, sometimes beyond our grasp… After all, where is the value if everything we need is at our reach.

We witness unfair environment and people riding the wave of ranging benefits in the absence of strong governance, thus discouraging the loyal and filthy commanders in charge. Friedrich Nietzsche once said: “The individual has always had the struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself”. 

These situations can only fuel the rage of taking more ownership of our lives and explore new opportunities, the people who can actually do the change in their lives.

This raises many questions like “What is next for me?”, “Am I ready to embark on my personal journey?”, “What is this road less traveled?” …

As the saying goes “You need two to Tango”, every exploitation or exploration comes out of either threat, unfairness, the need to do more or even wanting to do something different. Furthermore, our vision for life shapes in a very different perspective the moment such challenges are encountered meeting your readiness to take this bold step forward.

With this in mind, I am starting to write my own story, chapters filled with passion, love, and maximum attention to the people I personally care about.

I may conclude with: “Do what you need to do today. Waiting for the right time will only lead to realizing there is no perfect timing, and the clock is ticking”.
