A new horizon
Last Saturday 4th November, I was looking for a small notebook preferably with blank pages instead of those with lines in it as I don’t like the idea of being confined by boundaries. Went to a few bookstores and found some notebook that are too big and some are the correct size but with lines in the sub-pages. No notebook seems to be able to fit my requirement until finally I found the note book with the perfect size and a perfect sentence on it- Seek new horizons.
To me, this searching event seems to have a story to tell.
=> THE notebook
The other notebook didn’t fit my requirement for a reason as the one that will match has a message to tell. I am at the point of my life that needs to seek for new horizons in every aspect of my life. Old ways and things are not working well anymore and I have to seek new horizon in my life so as to keep my life going to a new level. Being in a comfort zone submits an individual to his fate and making him powerless against his surroundings as he is reluctant to move away from his comfort zone. Well, the comfort zone is not named for no reason as leaving it means hell a lot of discomfort but not leaving it means you will gradually degrade in the comfort zone.
Some people are not prepared to face the discomfort and lose their dreams, passion and self as they cocoon themselves in the comfort zone. The good thing about the comfort zone is that they are guaranteed zero discomfort in the short term. However, after being addicted to the comfort zone, they will not have any strength to leave it once the comfort zone starts to gradually implement discomfort in it in the long term.
Seeking new horizon means pain and discomfort and most people are not prepared to go through it as they are afraid of the momentary discomfort and the risk of not being able to find the new horizon. The strong will however move on continuously to find their new horizon so that they can advance to the next learning curve in their life. They do not let life push them around but rather determine the environment they want by actively seeking for it. They are always ready to move on to a better environment and are not afraid to suffer temporal discomfort.
This is the part of my life where I need to equip myself with the strength to seek my new horizon as the comfort zone had made me weak. Temporal discomfort shall not daunt me as I do not wish to suffer under a comfort zone that weakens my soul. This notebook will thus mark my new journey to the new horizon and had marked the first week of my journey as I penned my feelings wherever I go. More positive things to come as I seek my new horizon and discomforts along the way are just challenges that strengthen the soul!
“Seek new horizons, never succumb to the transient comfort zone”

Hi Fanny,
Glad to be giving you strength by sharing my thoughts =) and I think this is the power of friendship, you gave each other strength throught the words that are shared. However I think you have found the strength because it has always been in you, my thoughts are just mere catalyst to induce the inert strength in you.
May the brave who seek their passion find their happiness through troubled waters =D
