Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained

 There’s an old English adage dating back to the 16th century that says:

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

It essentially means that if we don’t engage in new experiences, we don’t gain new perspectives. And this still holds true today.

life continues to reward those who venture into the unknown. 

Why? 

Because they’re the ones who were willing to get uncomfortable. They’re the ones who’ve embraced discomfort and the true nature of the human experience: An always-changing, ever-evolving, growing process.

We are here, on earth, to evolve; that’s why it’s called “human evolution.”

So why aren’t you growing?

You’re not growing because you refuse to get uncomfortable. You’re not growing because you refuse to engage in new experiences. You’re stagnant, way too deep into your comfort zone. You’re not growing because every shackle clung onto your comfort (to try and ‘keep you safe’) continues to hold you back. And thus, you’ve rendered yourself incapable of change.

To go from where you are to where you want to be, you must do things you’ve never done before. You must be willing to get uncomfortable because discomfort is the only path to growth. There is no other way.

Discomfort isn’t a moment in time, it’s a passage in time. It’s a way of living—of continuously working through tension points to release their grip on you rather than shying away from the tension itself.

In short: Growth demands a new you.

The Comfort Pull

There are three tension points that keep us cemented in our comfort zones: OUR MINDSET , OVERTHINKING, FEAR and a LACK OF ACTION.

So here’s the message I want you to remember:

Discomfort in the status quo is a sign that it’s time to make a change, and discomfort demands a new version of you to show up.

Embrace it, and you will bloom. Shun it away, and you will shrink.

SO WHY NOT GO FOR IT?

Try new things. Extend yourself. Get out of your comfort zone. Be open to new ideas, surroundings, people and ways of doing things. ‎When you fall over, get up and keep moving forward. Take what you do seriously but don’t take yourself too seriously. Love what you do. And never settle for second place!

Leap, plant your feet firmly in that growth zone, and don’t look back.

But first, life is demanding a new version of you to show up. The question is, will you and How?

Study Gita, it will show you the path and will give you the courage to venture into unknown

Shri Ram was a Prince with everything in his comfort zone, he left that zone and ventured into the unknown and landed up building one of the best teams in history to date and his pain and uncomfortable life gave him the title "MARYADA PURSHOTAM"
