I have a dozen of reasons to stay. I only have three reasons to leave. But amidst the difference in figure, I need to favor the lesser one… ‘though there is no assurance that I will enjoy and experience what’s making me happy right now.
Inside me, there is a battle between ‘MR. YES’ and ‘MR. NO’. The latter is persuading me to sacrifice the opportunities and to value contentment. While the former is asserting that “Why not give it a try?”
Perhaps ‘MR. YES’ is right. Contentment may be just a quick excuse for us to redirect the statement: “I am afraid to take the risk.”
Perhaps ‘MR. YES’ is right. An attempt to acknowledge and undertake opportunities will pave the way for a happier and more secured life.
Perhaps ‘MR. YES’ is right. If I will turn down such chance, will there be another chance?
