To Boldly Go

Long ago, the well-known TV show "Star Trek" coined the phrase 'To boldly go' (where no-one has gone before). These words have always intrigued me. What does 'boldly' exactly mean? The dictionary definition is, in a confident and courageous way; showing a willingness to take risks. Is this the way we should move through life in order to achieve something worthwhile? The voyagers of the starship Enterprise were traveling through space, heading towards uncharted areas of the galaxy. They knew they might face risky situations, yet they went because a greater purpose was encouraging them. What about you? How do you fare in your journey through life? Do you dare to take decisions that might change your tranquil lifestyle? Do you have the courage to move to a new place, to commit to a relationship, to make a career change? Every decision can have drastic, radical, far-reaching results but...wouldn't you feel proud of having dared to "boldly go" towards the unknown?
