Hard times, unknown waters, and a bit of fear

Do you know how true courage and bravery are tested? In situations where all that's left is to cling to the certainty that God is in control of everything, even when the apparent scenario suggests otherwise. Life is not a straight path; it's composed of curves and mountains that can demand more effort than usual. These truths have never been a mystery to humanity. Still, few know how to live it with a spirit of humility, joy, and confidence.
The reason is that it's much easier to have information than to witness it. It's more comfortable to navigate familiar waters, even if it means stagnation in different areas of life. This bad habit has managed to envelop dreamers, inventors, writers, making them believe that everything they need is within their comfort zone. What they don't realize is that they are falling into the worst of evils: ignorance.
We shouldn't live solely based on the necessary. From time to time, we need those moments of risks, where an entire future depends on a simple decision in the present. It's true that it's much easier to trust what is known, but where is the fun, curiosity, and discovery in that? I conclude this reflection with the same words that the Apostle Paul said to the Philippians: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Don't limit yourself or let fear, habit, and routines distance you from a life full of adventures—that which is written by God.
