Just remember these two things whenever you are entering into unknown territories; trust and courage, in spite of all your fears.

This simple quote touches upon the very essence of stepping beyond the known into the vastness of the unknown. The journey into unknown territories is not just a physical adventure, but more so a venture into the inner landscapes of your own being.

When Osho speaks of trust, it is not the trust in something outside of you. It is an inner trust, a deep trust in life itself and in your own existence. This trust is foundational; it tells you that no matter what you encounter on this journey, there is a meaningfulness to it, a lesson, a growth. It is knowing that existence does not function in chaos, but in a mysterious order that your mind might not always comprehend.

Courage, on the other hand, is the active force. It is the energy with which you step forward despite the trembling. There is a misunderstanding about courage – it is thought to be the absence of fear, but that is not the case. Courage is the presence of action even when fear is there. It is seeing the fear, acknowledging it, but not allowing it to paralyse you.

Both trust and courage are intimately connected. Trust provides the base, the grounding from which courage can blossom. With trust in your heart, courage becomes not just a possibility, but a natural expression. So, when fear arises as you enter the unknown – and it will, for it is the nature of the ego to fear the uncharted – let trust be the soil from which the beautiful flower of courage can grow.

Recognise that every step into the unknown is a step towards growth, an opportunity for your being to expand. Let trust and courage be your two wings as you soar into the vast sky of possibilities. Remember, life is not just a challenge to be met, but a mystery to be lived.
