In order to challenge convention then, you must have the intestinal fortitude to challenge yourself. What can you not do? What do you deem impossible? If familiarity really does breed contempt, I may begin to understand why so many human beings loathe themselves. They replace their passion with fear; replace faith with the assumption of failure. Many of us are so afraid of our own existences, it surprises me little how abysmally we fair when it comes to others. Courage is not that absence of fear, but merely the idea that something is greater than that fear. I have been afraid every single day that I have walked on this road of uncertainty and ironically that is the very thing that has kept me on the pavement. Perhaps this instance is merely a result of some inherent masochism I possess, if that be the case then disregard everything that I have written.
I get the feeling however, that it is not just me who has this inherent masochism. I think that deep down inside of us, all of us, is someone who lives for the peril and the seemingly insurmountable risks that lie ahead on this journey. This challenge is about self-discovery, about pushing yourself to a limit that you have yet to surpass. Conquering a fear that has held dominion over you for as long as you could remember and taking what you want out of life rather than life taking what it wants from you. Immortality has already been given to all of us, it is our choice as to whether or not we choose to receive this gift. Go ahead… open it.
