Sacrifice what you are for what you could become

"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.".--Charles DuBois

What are you doing now?  What if an opportunity to do something you have always wanted to do suddenly and unexpectedly appeared in your life?  Would you sacrifice the tried and true that you are doing now for the unexpected?  Would you gamble on what you could become?  Or would you be afraid of the uncertainty involved with the change?  Are you afraid to gamble on the future?

Ask yourself what is the worst thing that could happen if I took the risk?  What is the best thing that could happen if I took the risk?  In reality it would be somewhere in between.

Then go someplace where there is peace and quiet and sit quietly for awhile and ask your inner self if this is what you should do.  Your inner self has all the answers.  All you have to do is sit quietly and ask for guidance.

Do not allow fear or insecurity to enter into the decision.  Keep an open mind and a sense of adventure.  You will know what is right for you.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Do not cloud your vision with routine.  Allow yourself to become what you can and should become.
