499110244 E2C Wiki Hsu Tell about a time when you left the safety of a place or situation to explore

or try something new When I was seven, I got the crazy image about the going the trip alone. I like ride the bike to find the new place. Adventuring by myself is a special experience for me, a way that I find my way to find my own self. In the early Sunday morning, I try my best to get the direction, finding the clear road to go for my first trip alone. I was excited and a little afraid when I took a risk. This is my first time to leave my parents and explore the strange word. On the road, everything was strange and new, I look many passerbies with the strange eyes. However, after I rode for 3 kilometer, I was thirsty and exhausted. Without my parent, I didnt have any money to replete, even though I have some pocket money. I try my best to find a convenience store, and choice some bread or rice and vegetable roll to full. The salesclerk looked kind, asking me whether I need his help. Actually, I didnt want to accept even I was tired and lost. He called my parents because I was completely exhausted. At convenience store I become to puff and blow, having difficulty finding the way home. Thus, I have no choice but wait for my parents. What a pity I give up my dream when I was young. After this experience, I realized we have to learn some skills and been more brave to try something new. My father told me a story happened on him. The other day he was a little thirsty. Had some work to do so he delayed his short trip to the kitchen as much as he could. After one or two hours, the thirsty become really important to him, so he left his home office and went to the kitchen. To his surprise, there was only a small bottle of water left in the house. This is happening extremely rare as he is quite a freak when it comes to water, food and supplies. Then, he took a glass of water, pour the whole bottle in it, then put in on his table and start looking at it. If he doesnt drink the water, hell have this glass full for a long time, he thought. Its the only water he had in the house, so its really precious, must take good care of it. But after a few seconds I realized Im still thirsty. If he drinks the water, he wont be thirsty anymore. But he wont have any water left in the house. He knows in several hours hell be thirsty again, and then he wont have this glass full of water. It will be empty. That means he should really go out and start looking for some fresh water. And he really doesnt do this right now. This lesson I learning to Let Go! Im sure you laughed while reading the monologue above. You have all the reasons, its a weird monologue. A person talking with his glass full of water is always funny but as thirsty as I was, I realized this monologue was something very common to me. Its a monologue I play every time Im afraid to try something new. Every time Im on a safe environment and Im enjoying it and try to squeeze everything out of it. I was

really enjoying working on my office and the idea of getting out for some fresh water was really unpleasant. As unpleasant as it seemed, it was something necessary for me. Besides, I also realized that every environment is perishable. Each situation is finite. Trying to extend a pleasurable situation beyond its natural boundaries its not only useless, but most of the time quite impossible. You must accept this sooner or later. You have to drink the water and accept that youll have to find fresh water soon. You cant rely on a single glass of water to quench your thirst for your entire life just like my father. In addition, keeping your game into a single playground will soon dry it out. If you dont do something to constantly refresh your resources, youll empty your field by using it. If you dont get out in the wild to get some water youll run out of it. Secondly, Being Stuck! I also do the same thing just like my father, I also want to try his feeling. But soon I started to explore the advantages of the other side, the safer one: I can hold on my thirst for a little while. I will still have this glass of water. I think I can resist at least 4-5 hours more. And whenever Ill be really thirsty I know I have this backup plan. The magic word here was backup. Having a safety web is what everybody dreams of. Knowing that your life path is insured makes for a great sleep at night. Thats a mindset of conservation. Dont use your resources. Dont make that trip, dont start that relationship, dont even think to start something new in your life. Youre good as you are. You have enough water in that glass and your thirst will fade in time anyway. Keeping a safe game will make the water older. Yes, even water can get older and their tastes become worse. Your resources will conserve but your life wont advance. Youll remain safer but you wont grow. I know I had this mindset for years. I was stuck. Thus, the most important for learning new is trying to enjoy. It was only when I started to avoid conservation and seek joy when things started to improve. Only when I started to really use my resources without any fear of loss. And by resources I dont mean only material resources. My ideas, my skills, my emotions, my physical energy, everything is a resource. If you dont use one of your resources and strive just to conserve it, you will actually help it decay. In some cases it might even rot. It was only when I gradually replaced my conservation mindset with a joy mindset that my life become really abundant. And by that I mean really going out and get what I wanted, without worrying that I might lose something in the process. When I ran out of it, getting out again I missed. That mindset created abundance, not the conservation one. It worked in every area of my life: personal development, relationships, career, and wealth. Every time I was focusing to maintain a status-quo things were actually shrinking. I had to go out and get some more. Its quite a paradox, but only in the

beginning. The fact is the more you use what youve got, the more you attract what you want. The more you do the more you have. The conservation mindset is really a scarcity mindset, because conservation is another word for death. In short, you have to let go some stuff in order to make room in your life for something new. Likely, you have to let go of your habits, of your assets or of your emotions in order to experience new habits, new assets or new emotions. Doesnt mean you should start clean every day, with zero resources. Its about assessing whats really old, whats dragging you down. This is what makes you feel uncomfortable, not the new stuff you just started. If you dont drink your last glass of water, the only thing youll feed would be your thirst, youll make it bigger. If you drink the water while youre thirsty, youll be forced to find some fresh water soon, but you know what: thats the fun part. You never know what happened with my glass of water? With a harsh move I took it and drank the water to the bottom. The miracle was happened and it was good.
