Quotation of the Week


"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." - Alan Cohen



What a refreshing point of view, eh?


If we realize that change breathes new vitality into our lifelong journey, then we can more willingly head toward that change. Even if we're afraid. Even if we are hesitant to put forth the effort because it just seems like so much work...


But, honestly, isn't feeling alive so much more worthwhile than being comfortable?


Isn't taking the risk to achieve something big so much more valuable than being unhappy in a stagnant, broken situation??


Yes, it takes a lot of bravery to head in a different direction.
It takes tons of courage to break habits and to form new ones.
It takes major cahones to take a step away from "security".


But you owe it to yourself to be brave, courageous, and ballsy.
If you want a life to be proud of - you have to step away from your comfort zone.


Please, go make "deliberate movements" toward a better life - a better you.
