Sink. Float. or Swim its your choice

In life we have many options. We can either Sink and be nothing. Spend our lives not forming any relationships, never using our skills,  and ultimately becoming meaningless. We can also Float and feel safe for our whole lives. Never take chances, never step out of our comfort zones, and never face our fears. Or  we can  Swim. Swim out into the distance, down into the great oceans floor, around the coral reefs and feel empowered. We can discover the unknown and go on an adventure. We can take chances and learn from our achievements and mistakes. We can jump over hurdles with the possibility of tripping and falling down. 
While Swimming is the best option, in my opinion,  many people still choose to Float their whole lives away. These people never move forward and it ends up taking a life changing event to change his/her ways. These people need the events; such as being fired from a job, seeing something they dont want to see, hearing something they dont want to hear, and experiencing something they do not want before moving away from the comfort zone. Few people choose to swim.  I want you to make a pact with yourself that you will do something you fear doing at least once today. Whether you read this next week or the week after set a goal and reach high for that goal. Whether its standing in front of a group of people, voicing your opinion, or speaking to an old friend. Face your fear and remember,  "Fear only the fear of never trying; for you may neglect the greatest gifts."
