You will find most people who are rigid and cannot grow out of their own cocoon of comfort, are the ones who have met with many failures and have learned nothing from those failures. The failures have not strengthened the core of their existence and the existence is ‘grounding of all there is’ that you have ever known. Henceforward you could do something much more significant. Those failures are not the problem but what we have drawn out of those failures is indeed a big problem because they were too rigid to make a change.
