The eye opener

My friend Michael is here on holidays and I took a few days off to hang out with him.His recent lecture to me in the car about how I am not developing my full potential has been a real eye opener and triggered something unusual in me. It was so stimulating that it instilled in me an urge to be more 'ambitious'.

I just came to realise that there is a common factor in my many of my friends' discourses:They all consider I am not going the extra mile and the use of the word 'lazy' definitely made me uncomfortable. They all agree that I should aim higher and that remaining in my comfort zone will eventually kill me. I think they are right. I guess I can say I am lucky to have people around me who act as eye openers and help me review my perspectives. I should definitely take more risks.

The fact that people come to me and tell me the bare truth leaves me warmed and thankful.Isn't it a fact that as years pass by our insights fade and the world seem colder?But then come your friends and you see yourself through their caring eyes and suddenly realise that they want the best for you and you glow again.
