FEAR AND PARALYSIS

I recently decided to change my job, and horizons. Because there’s a 3-month notice period at my college, I had to leave here before I had started the majority of my applications. The reactions I got were so positive:

“I can’t believe you’re leaving a public sector job!”

“I don’t understand.”

“I wouldn’t like to be in that jungle.”

“It’s your funeral.”

And (this is a voice quaking with disbelief): “It’s MADNESS!”


Here’s the response of a very good friend of mine:

Always staying in your comfort zone

Giving up on developing yourself and moving forward for any reason

Believing that because you are good at one thing, and that will do

Fearing any kind of change

Being static and feeling that everything outside of your static circle is 'a jungle'

Huddling with other fearful people in the static circle

Giving up:

THIS IS THE TRUE MADNESS.
