A young man from a premier management institute says “My father told us we can only do well in jobs, not business.”
Anita suffers injustice in her marriage because her father once told her, “You are neither beautiful nor a heiress, so do as you are told to do.”
Nyla, a qualified gynaecologist, is a victim of her husband’s bad temper, but holds on to the marriage to be able to stake a claim to his substantial assets and ensure that her children inherit a fair share.
They are competent, cutting-edge professionals not to be mistaken as yellow bellies, but bound by an outdated belief system.
Only if they could jump without the fear of being ridiculed….
Only if they could face uncertainty on the other side of the fence but do justice to their higher selves.
Creative Experiments and More 
Fear is a bully. Standing apart from family, friends, community, to pursue a dream, to make a better life, involves risk and along the way, invariably loss. Many place a higher value on what they know than on the possibility of what could be.

I agree. At times, people fear breaking relationship bonds more than facing the challenge, hence stay back.

therein is the reason so many do not change, the unknown, by definition, can present itself with more power than the person can imagine
no matter how desirable the (results) of change, the path is guarded by fear
the only ‘cure’ for fear is faith*
It’s not the work of change that stops most, it’s fear of leaving behind the known for the unknown
*which can be defined in a whole bunch of ways, but I will not repeat last week’s two-volume Comment…lol

What we learn in the cradle stays with us whether we will or no. It can take a long time to realize things have changed and replace the old, bad messages.
