Recently I was talking to someone about life and he admitted part way through the conversation that he realized he wasn’t living anywhere close to what he wanted to do but… He said he was contented making money, loads of it and banking it but didn’t know what to do to enjoy himself. It was work and home. I asked why not go explore the world and take the kids? He said that what they keep saying, the kids that is. So what’s stopping you? It wasn’t fear it was comfort. He was comfortable and therefore didn’t want to move out of the comfort zone. He knew it wasn’t the fear of doing something new as he was willing to set off on a new path. Interestingly it was just that he never thought of it because no one in his circle travelled. He just never saw it as enjoyable. They saw it as a waste of money. Well seeing the world for me is enjoyable and it gives tons of exposure. It’s different from just reading or watching about the places. Well thats me, what do you think? To each their own. What do you think of as fun that also gives exposure?
Exposure can be a major thing. It can open your eyes to so many things out there in the world and more than just things around you. When we have an open mind and are exposed to more than what is in our immediate vicinity life takes on a totally different dimension. It’s not only physical but also mental. Well most of it is mental. I was thinking recently about the kind of exposure that someone can have and realized it could be considered minimal when you are in a cocoon. There are so many things that we take for granted because we were exposed to them. I was told by my dad never allow your passport to expire but there are persons that have never owned one. There are persons that have never gone too far from where they live and grew up. There are a lot of reasons such as comfort, fear and a lack of exposure. But do you get the exposure because of who you have around you or is it when you see places etc that might be in a book or on the screen? But is that enough to be the catalyst to open your eyes to the possibilities that are out there?
When I think of being exposed I think about using travel, books etc to get the information needed to get to the place in life that you want to get to. But does that alone to give you the exposure you need or does it also need action and the authentic experience? Can other persons experiences give you what is necessary to see beyond your normal? I think so because that’s what helped me to see what was out there. What helped you or are you still in the phase where your mind is closed and nothing seems to take you to the next level.
Let me know what you think, I really want to know and I sure others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. It could also spawn another blog. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
