BREAKING THE SHELL

In today's world, we get so obsessed with a lot of things which are needless. We are living under a shell, drawing a line and curbing ourselves within that line. I was thinking about all these in my life and then came up with this post on 'BREAKING THE SHELL'.

So how do these shells and lines get formed !! ? If we could find out the source of the problem,its more simpler to unravel. And the answer what I found out was, "Fear of failure".

There have been a lot of instances in my own life(and some in ur life too) where I've had a fear of failing and never even tried to cross the line.

For eg, I've been wanting to start writing a blog for over 5 or 6 months. I had enuf topics to tell you all, I had even opened Blogspot umpteen number of times and typed a line or two , but dint complete them. Its because of "Fear of criticism". I used to think what ppl might comment after reading my blog,will they give good comments, and such irrelevant thots that restricted me frm blogging.

Another one eg. I dint know to ride a bike, I've never even tried to ride once. I was having the fear that I might fall, ppl might laugh at me, I might get hurt etc. but all these thoughts make no sense when you have not faced them all. And yes, I did ride once(tat too very recently) and was pretty good.

"So wat are we supposed to do to Break the Shell?". This is the big question.
"Take up the challenge." Thats it . Have a game of YOU vs YOUR FEAR. And if you lose, choose to have another one :). if you fail in the first time itself,you'll feel like you are never gonna make it and the shell becomes stronger. Never let that happen and make a strong comeback. And if you win once, YOUR FEAR will lose forever. So its just that one win that you are looking for to break the shell.

You just have one life to live.
" Live it!!!! "

Note : I'm still breaking my shells. I'm not a person without any fears. I still have a small fear of what comments i m gonna get :), but yet I've given a try atleast. Thats more important. I like this line from Robin Sharma's 'The Greatness Guide':"Riskless living is the biggest risk" , so take qualified risks and break the shells...
