What could happen if you finally took that leap to do the very thing you’ve been dreaming of doing? Or, maybe you’re like me and you just like things the way things are and you don’t want to know what could happen. Well, sort of? Actually, not at all.
I love how this video highlights the tension that exists as we develop and learn throughout life. To tell you the truth I was just lazy, and scared of making a mess, if I tried anything new. There you have it, that is what kept me in my “comfort zone”.
The crazy thing is that, by keeping within my comfort zone, I lost so much more. In my case I lost my job, my family and wife, my lifestyle and… well, I won’t bore you with my sob story, but you get the point.
That was years ago, and since then I’ve come to realize that I have a new expanded comfort zone. Not only that, I’ve realized it can keep growing. Now, I don’t want to stay here, I want to reach out, deeper into that “Magic Zone”.
How did this change happen? I got pushed into it by life, but you do have to wait for life to give yo a shove.
I believe we are all meant to keep growing, changing, and developing. I dig the way this video puts it, change is actually development.
That is what life is all about, constant growth.
- You can choose to push the boundaries of your comfort zone or life will find a way to do it for you.
- If you have a dream keep believing and starting doing things that move you in the direction of dream.
- Accept the learning process and don’t fight it. In fact, go out there and try new things, frequently.
- Don’t panic. Just change the name of that space out there, beyond your comfort zone, from “Panic Zone” to “Learning Zone”.
