We all have prejudices, things that we judge and accept or reject base on uninformed knowledge. Yet, we all also have an innate desire or need to belong.
Prejudices keep us at arms length from experiencing a truly full life and connecting to all of humanity.
How many people do we miss out on meeting, because they do not fit into our comfort zone?
How many different cultures do we avoid and miss out on their beauty and deep history, because they are outside of our comfort zone?
How many places do we not visit?
How many opportunities are missed?
How many delicious meals and varieties of food do we pass by?
How many people do we harm by rejection?
How many wars could we have stopped, if we had ventured out of our comfort zone?
How much love and peace can we spread, if we just get out of our comfort zone.
Break free, move out of your comfort zone, one step at a time.
