Cautious


A ship in harbor is safe - but that
is not what ships are for.

Cautious
What makes us cautious in life? Why is it that we miss experiences because we are too busy worrying about them instead of partaking in them? Maybe it's because the idea makes us uncomfortable or maybe it's just fear that is creating this invisible wall between us and life. It's not bad to be cautious of people and situations. That's normal and it's protection from getting hurt. Being cautious is just fine. Letting yourself remain paralyzed is not. There are so many things to see, experience, enjoy and be a part of in life that you have to find a way to know when it's just fear of the unknown that is stopping you. Sometimes you just need a little push in order to take flight. Here is your push!
