What are you waiting for?
Some things I have learned in life:
Take yourself out of your comfort zone. On occation, you need to step out of your normal security and expose yourself to things that you would never consider. For example, I am not a great fan of hieghts. I am not scared, I just haver respect for how quickly that ground approaches when you fall. But with that uneasiness, I have been skydiving. It i sthat mastery of a fear that helps you grow. I don't know much about Islam, Philosophy, Politics, but that doesn't mean that I have not read, played in or visited places that help me understand them. By getting yourself involved you can not only open yourself up to the wholness of the subject, but dammit when you want to argue it, you already have ammo to defend and offend with. Knowledge of what is outside your comfort zone helps exl=pand yoru zone and broadens you as a person.
Shed your skin and embark!. I have this morbid olan. People hate when I say it, it makes most uncomfortable. But I plan on being dead at 40. I have a five year plan. I doo this because I realize that I as do everybody can proctrastinate. "I can call hm back tomorrow" "I am young I have plenty of time to go to Europe" "I don't need to plan for retirement, I have many years left of work in me". Soon, tomorrow becomes a day, then a week, then a month. Before to long so much time has passed that you get embarassed that you didnt return a call and avoid it adding to more misery. At 31, I went back to college to play college hockey. At 34 I had a tryout lined up to play semi pro hockey in Australia,at 34 I tried out for two semi pro teams in Findlay Ohio and another in Illinois, at 35 I tried out for a semi pro team in Evansville Indiana. At 36, I am planning a move to Germany after taking the ASVAB to enlist in the Army. We only have one life to live. We can either live it through what we see on TV or we can go to the grand canyon and know what it is like to smell the dust and air around that great chasm in the earth. We can watch waterfalls on the history channel or we can taste the crisp water after we jump off that cliff next to that waterfall. You can either look at pictures or you can feel the coarse stone beneath your fingertips of the Pyramids of Giza as you marvel at the masonry and mystery of how they were built. How do you want to live your life?
