I know why people do not change their job even if they can't stand it, why they do not divorce husbands who do not attract them physically, why they eat the same fattening snacks even if they want to loose their weight.
That's not only the matter of habit, also they do not move forward because they are more or less comfortable in the current situation and afraid that the changes either will be too difficult to implement or will lead to even worse combination.
It is human nature to find thousands excuses for out complexes, laziness and fears. I am telling myself that I can't go back to Russia, because I love my gym and afraid that my next job will consume all my time. How ridiculous it sounds in writing!
Based on this thought I am locking myself in the office I do not like and can't change because of the visa condition. Do I really need and deserve that?
I would like to quote one comparison from Coelho. That's about a frog. If a frog sits in the water which is gradually heated up, the animal does not feel the temperature changes. And at the moment the water boils the frog dies, fat and happy.
That's what I am afraid, to be consumed by routine and nothingness. I am afraid to be consumed by my own excuses and procrastination. And I am afraid of that more than I am afraid of changes (which I am also afraid of like all humans).
So, I have to be confident and make the steps forward, otherwise the frog's destiny will be mine as well...
