The problem is that a prospect is made even before his time. A person is born a jagged stone, but as the forces of the current push you along you bump and bang so much that you become rounded and polished. You become exposed to the elements and harsh conditions. You are then well rounded and are more able to maneuver with ease.
This cannot happen if you keep within your comfort zone and are not willing to take any risks or conduct any moves of your own.
A young lady once said, "I would be so different if I lived in California." However, the reality is that it is in you whether you want to be different and decide to make that change. A different town or different city could change your location or possibilities, but you would continue to be the same person until you decide to change.
