“Break the seal,
invade unknown
territories and you
will hit a jackpot.”

motto should be “Do it now or regret it later.” When we compel ourselves to get out of the groove into a no-man’s land, only good things can happen.
For example, the American comedy queen Kathy Buckley is deaf; yet she converted that disability into an asset. She is a five-time nominee for the American Comedy Award for the best ‘Comedienne’. It all began when a friend urged her to enter a comedy contest. She stood fourth in the contest, and was soon performing at clubs and gatherings across the country. Ultimately, she made it to Hollywood.
Maybe, we have to enter those spaces where the real action is.

There was this school drop-out, who was good in mimicry. He put up live shows, exhibiting his talent. In one such show, he was noticed by a film producer and got a chance to work in the movie industry. There, he became a big success and then never looked back.
If you hibernate and refuse to emerge from your cave because of the risk involved, you will remain trapped there forever. Break the seal, invade unknown territories and you will hit the jackpot.
Trust yourself. As the famous author and speaker John Mason said, “You are born an original. Don’t die a copy.”
