Monday motivation quote: …Sail away from the safe harbour…

Maybe you’re one of those people who are comfortable in their lives and sees no reason to change, so you’ve decided to stay that way.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with that. But if there are other things you want to do that you keep postponing for whatever reason, then that quote does apply to you.

Comfort is the killer of dreams. You need to recognize that the things you want are outside of your comfort zone. When you do, you’ll realize that you need to be more uncomfortable – this is how you’ll do the things you want.

That is one of the reasons why, for our Monday motivation quote, we’ve chosen something by Samuel Langhorne Clemens who was popularly known by his pen name, Mark Twain.

Mark Twain was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He achieved renown for his writing, which is still relevant even now.

His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

With all the things that Mark Twain achieved, it is easy to see that our quote for today is very relevant to his life. If you let it, it can really work for you too.

Today’s quote is:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain.

It is said that regret is a bitter pill to swallow. Forget about the things that you’re currently doing and consider the things you want to do instead.

Step out of your comfort zone and find a way to do the things that you want to do. If you want to start a new career, read books and sign up for online courses until you feel sufficiently qualified to take the next step.

If you like someone and you’re scared to let them know, swallow your fear and say it. No one ever died of rejection.

So, step out of your safe harbour and go after the things you want. Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
