Playing It Safe

Sometimes when fearing the unknown, we find that playing it safe gives us comfort. Hopefully if we're really careful not to create too many waves, we can go about our lives without attracting trouble. But by keeping our eyes lowered all the time, we can only see the debris that is scattered on the ground. This proves our point that we need to be aware of where we are going or we won't know what we will be stepping on. Although we are being diligent about our safety, we are missing all the exciting opportunities that are open to us every day. Know that by playing it too safe, the life we are meant to lead is passing us by. Today, challenge yourself by doing something different. Step outside the boundaries you have erected, for they no longer are keeping you safe but preventing you from living a fulfilled life. This is your year to attain your heart's desire.

No matter how beautiful our cages are,
we can only see the world through the bars that surround us...

(The wonderful thing about this cage was that there weren't any birds in it.)
