Fortune favours the brave

When life seems to be a hell, there are many options that falls before us:

* either we burn inside the fire

* either we learn to live with the fire

* or we learn to raise ourselves up from the fire!!

And the greatest courage a person needs is the bravery to step up and out from the Hell that life has become!!

It doesn’t mean that walking out is easy: it is painful, the scars take a lifetime to heal; it takes a lot of efforts to unlearn life and relearn it and make it something drastically different from the life that you were accustomed to!!

It requires a conscious choice to understand what happened to you, take the help to heal and then move on to the next path in life!!

It is a very time consuming process because you need to unlearn the life you’ve had!! You need to unlearn living with fear!! You need to unlearn looking over your shoulder!! You need to unlearn that anxiety!! You need to unlearn life as you got trained into over a long period of time!!

And when you unlearn, you realise how messed up your life had become!! You realise how much you were living life in a wrong manner!! You realise how it messed up not just your emotional health but also your physical one!!

And then you take those baby steps towards undoing life!!

You do something that becomes a first step towards correcting your life!! I took a degree, ended relationships that didn’t work for me, took help for my emotional well being and some bits here and there!!

And it feels so good seeing life unfurl in a better manner, feels satisfying to have bagged a good job, feels confident standing up for yourself!!

And it’s an exhilarating and liberating feeling!!

You realise that the years have been life changing and the Hell actually helped you become stronger and resilient!! And you become confident enough to face any adversity that falls your way!!

All it needs is that first step, the first step through your uncertainty, the first step through your fears, the first step through the indecisiveness!! Because the path automatically reveals when you take that step of faith.. And that path always leads to greatness!!
