The Thrill of Insecurity

Do you see a connection among these questions?

1. Why a man gambles?
2. Why People love travelling?
3. Why suspense stories sell more than self help books?
4. Why don’t you enjoy a movie second time as much you do first time?
5. Why are the guys crazy about sports?

The common point all these questions indicate to is- Unknown excites everyone.

Life is boring if you know everything that’s going to take place. It’s no different than watching the movie second time. We are crazy about sports because of the twists and turns it brings every moment. Because we don’t know what will happen next!

A part of each one of us loves adventure. We want to explore the unexplored. We want to see the places we have never been to. But, when it comes to life everyone wants security. WHY?

Assume that you are not going to lose job.. come what may.. will you still be excited about work? Will you still be passionate about bringing new ideas? Will you still exceed your targets?

Imagine right before the interview you know that you have been selected, will you still take time to prepare and find out more about yourself?

Unknown excites us! Unknown keeps us moving forward. Unknown stretches us to a new level. Unknown makes us more efficient.

The fear of unknown always compels us to come out of comfort zone and do something we have never done before.
