i know that it is not easy to be brave but i know that it is the answer to my problem. Maybe I am just lazy or it is just hard to be brave or maybe I just don't want to leave my comfort zone. But I know that at one point I should stand as to what I believe and my conviction and take action and live the right decision to give me some improvement on the quality of my life. Although I don't have the worst life but it is not that good either. There are so many things that I would need to improve or change so that I would be able to enjoy life much better. Or be out of the misery in my life.

i try a funny thing to quit a habit. When i was used to smoking and thinking to quit it, i was smoking a lot in tht day till i feel like vomiting. lol. Next day i was not in a mood to smoke again. At least for few days i was a non-smoker. Now, what i feel, you are a lucky guy with all minimum comfort and you dont need to go for rat race. Still you fear of the future, what is obvious again. Now just sleep for a week continuously, may be 16 hrs a day and do nothing. Enjoy your best songs, do all that are not good with regular duty bound people. Then after a week, have a bath and start for your new beginning. Think for a business, tht will fetch you good money. Thank you.

Hi,
True, it is the conquer of oneself, from the clutches of fear and feeling helpless in the face of adversity. Bravery is not wanton abandon to danger, rushing in recklessly and getting burned in the process. It is a rational act, a free choice to do what is necessary without getting the messy end of it.

I agree, being brave can also be a matter a choice. I believe that I am not born brave. I get scared of being alone in the house. I am scared of submitting my resume to potential employers. I am scared of asking directions. But then, I know that nothing will happen to me if I will always be scared, if I will let my fear get the best of me. So with shaking knees and pounding hearts, I marched into that office and gave my resume. Which surprised the employer and said it is not unsolicited as he really wants to interview me but just doesn't have the time in between hearings to do so. Just an example. Eventually, that thing just comes naturally and I figure that there really isn't something to be scared of in the first place. I mean the worse that they could do to me is say no.

I know sometimes we have to become brave and take some hard decisions to get our life back on track. Its too tough to come out of comfort zone, but you have to do it and trust when time really demands you to be brave you will not even realize and it will just happen.

Yeah,brave is a good quality everyone want to have,but without it doesn't mean you are good for nothing,actually,everyone has their way to live,as long as you can keep a balance,that's ok.
I can feel you are not satified with your life,but most of time it is not just beacause you are not bave enough,you better analyze where the problem come from,or tell someone you trust to help you analyze it.
Cheer up!!!

I have also the same problem as yours. and I think we should leave our negativity and start thinking and concering on what we really enjoy and want in our life and we have to go for that with deep desire and faith. my problem is that I lose my faith while of being surrond in negative situations. but the main point is just go for it and do not lose faith, believe that you will get the life of your desire.

It's not easy but it's always worth it. Being brave is a matter of choice. What you choose is what you get. Stepping out of our comfort zone is never easy and we all dread it. But sometimes change can be more beautiful and better for us, only if we embrace it.
