Attraversiamo!

Cross over . We all need to cross over sometime. Why? because there is more that awaits us in life and we will never discover it if we are not willing to leave our comfort zones and cross over. Crossing over is always scary as we don't always see so clearly what we are crossing over into, there is always an element of risk involved and sometimes a great amount of faith is needed. But what other options are available to us apart from persisting in the familiar, the safe and mundane at the risk of leaving this one shot at life that we have been presented with, carrying an opinion of it that in no way does it any justice. Do we want to end up at the doorway of our eternal home saying to our creator, "what i had just been through, was incredibly boring!"

I didn't think so :-)

God has given us an incredible playground filled with mysteries, adventures and treasures that await us to discover them. Where are these things? On the other side! Of what? On the other side of your fears, on the other side of your comfort zone, on the other side of your laziness, on the other side of your risk free life! And mind you, the other side isn't the safe side, you could get hurt, you could have regrets, you could lose, you could get in serious trouble BUT you also could end up discovering life's best and have the time of your life doing it! But even if you don't, someone once said "better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all", or i would put it like this to cover the entire range of what crossing over could mean to you - better to have crossed over and discover that it wasn't good for you then to live the rest of your life with this nagging thought "what if?".

I have many times crossed over in many different circumstances. Yes it was risky and no i had no sense of certainty on how these decisions would turn out and yet now as i look back i can say without a shadow of a doubt that i have not once regretted any of it and am today better off because of these steps that i have taken. Attraversiamo folks! We've only got one shot at this life, lets make it count!
