Beyond The Fog

I was talking to one of my friends yesterday about a concept called "Fog of War".Fog of War can mean several different things.In football terms, fog of war means exaggeration. Things look bigger and more exaggerated when action is taking place......Better said, its like when you try and see things through fog....everything on the other side seems so scary, unfamiliar, fear is heighten.

My friend and I talked about the fear of the unknown......and a valid point was made...He said people aren't scared of the dark. People are scared of what's in the dark that they can't see......

I'm going somewhere with this........work with me here........

I think leaping into the unknown is what makes you grow.

Step outside your box....outside your comfort zone.

I've been doing that a lot lately.....stepping into the fog....

Is it really worth it?

I think it depends....I think everyone wants validation when they make that leap.......

You want someone to acknowledge your effort and to realize how hard it is for you to make that choice.....to come outside of what makes you comfortable.

The fog can be mentally blinding....and can present so much anxiety...

Here is a question:

Say you were standing in the middle of the street, and fog went across the street...not allowing you to see what's on the other half of the street in front of you. Would you bust through? Would you say, forget that, I'm going to walk through, I want to know whats on the other side. Or would you say, never that, I'm gone, there's no telling what's out there.

I'm busting through....because no matter what, from here on out, I never want to ask myself what if......and yes, that's really worth it.
