There's a whole world out there for us to explore, a life to live, experiences to be had. Our world is not simply what we see around us, but so much more; a wealth of information and beauty that only a few get to see. I'm not saying we need to drop our current lives and go wandering the earth in search of new things. What I am saying is that we need to open our eyes and realize all the wonders in the world, whether through books and magazines, or movies and music. If you can travel, great! Power to you! Whatever will get you out of your little bubble that you've known your whole life and realize that there is more out there to learn about and explore.
Bubbles are comfortable and cozy, but they are also limiting and confining. I finally got to break my bubble this past summer and I have opened my eyes to a whole new world of people and places, experiences and wonders I never knew about, or more frankly, thought only existed in stories. I broke free of the mundane and boring life I have lived my whole life and branched out into new territory. Sure, it's a little scary at first, but, Wow! when those initial steps are behind you, there is nothing you can't do.
Get rid of the people and thoughts that hold you back and tell you that your dreams are impossible, or that you are an idiot for thinking beyond their scope of rationality. Anyone who wants to squash your dreams is not worth keeping around, or maybe not worth having in your top 3 - 5 closest people in your life. They are the naysayers who will just bring you down. Those top 3 -5 people who you keep closest to you, those are the ones who will give you the strength to go on. Maybe it's only 1 person who will help you and inspire you to live your dream. The bottom line here is, get rid of what's holding you down like an anchor and set sail for the dream of your life. It's your life, you have to live it for you, no one else, JUST YOU.
