Do you feel that it's like you are on an island with no one else around, surrounded by deep waters that you would prefer not to venture into?
Well, if that's your reality, then you probably are!
The question is: do you WANT to be in that isolated place?
Is that island comforting or confining?
Perhaps you would prefer to remain just where you are. In that case, it is entirely ok.
But what if it is a desperate place, a place of extreme loneliness and despondency? ..and a place where nobody wants to venture towards you?
Look at the picture above...if that turtle is indeed feeling isolated, then there is only one choice -

HE HAS TO REACH OUT!
That turtle could hope that another turtle will find him but why would another turtle take an equally dangerous plunge to venture towards him.
Is it not easier for our turtle to take the plunge himself?
Yes, it will be into deeper water, but there will always be the hope that he can find a better place where there are other turtles to help him. He also has the knowledge that he can indeed swim! He is well equipped to do that too!
Everything boils down to what is our turtle going to do for himself?
All that is stopping him is his own confidence!
What are you going to do about your isolation today?
