Challenge Fear(Heyecanınla Yüzleş)

Run from what's comfortable.
Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
I have tried prudent planning long enough.
From now on I'll be mad.

The above English translation of the Persian Quote belongs to Coleman Barks.
Although it is very famous quote of Mevlânâ Celâleddîn-i Rûmî
it is pity seeing loss in translation(and even misunderstandings) in Turkish translations.
so here is my version of it;

***

Rahatlığı arkadaş edinme.
Kurtul tedirginliğinden.
Seni heyecanlandıran yerde yaşa.
Egonu yak. Korkma zaaflarından.
Yeter bunca zamandır aldığın tedbirler.
Artık kalbinin hizmetinde yaşa.
