Unfamiliar territory
+++++++++++++++++++
Do you want a better understanding of who you are and what you’re capable of achieving? Venture into unfamiliar territory.
Put yourself in a situation where you’re forced to depend on your own knowledge, resourcefulness, and strengths. You’ll quickly find out what those strengths are, and you’ll figure out ways to improve upon them.
That new territory could be physical, social, vocational, intellectual, or some combination. Whatever the case, it can energize you, heighten your awareness, and clarify what’s actually important to you.
Though your current situation has its challenges, you’ve mostly figured out how to handle them. Think of what you could learn, and how much you could grow, from a starkly different set of challenges.
Let yourself experience how well you respond to those challenges. Enable yourself to learn and improve from that experience.
A little bit of adventure can add a lot of value to your life. Go where you haven’t been, and gain a deeper understanding of who you truly are.
