Horizon

Speaking at an event of JCI Alumni Club at Goa, Ashrafali Nizari spoke about the horizon. He pointed out that the horizon gets wider as we go higher. His message was to stretch out and rise up to see newer horizons.

 

The horizon is the line at which the earth's surface and the sky appear to meet. It is also used to refer to the limit of a person's knowledge, experience or interest. Hence, our perspective is wider as we rise up in any team.

 

The word originates from Greek as ‘horizōn (kuklos)’ which meant ‘limiting (circle)’. The visible horizon represents the edge of what is known or manifest. But when go up in life, we tend to see things in wider outlook.

 

Even though we see it way off in the distance, the horizon is not the boundary. It’s not the limit. It’s just as far as we can see in the moment. But the possibilities are always greater as our horizon turns wider.

 

Where we are now is not the limit. Even if it feels that way right now. When horizon is based on a limited self-definition, with concepts that are false, then our horizon is artificially adopted. We must move on to the real horizon.

 

When we come to the completion of a project or a vision of ourself, we must choose to expand into a new direction. We must opt to tap innate abilities within that we have not yet realised. New horizons bring along new frontiers.

 

Stretch out to rise to newer heights

A wider horizon will come to sight!
