What if I told you that you will unlock your potential outside of your comfort zone.
Maybe you’re thinking “I like my comfort zone, it’s familiar, it feels safe and predictable. I’m fine where I’m at and I don’t need to grow.” But this is the thing, if you are not growing you are not fine, because you are either growing, or you are decaying. Here is the best part though, you get to choose.
Someone once said get comfortable being uncomfortable, and I think that’s great advice for growth. When we grow, we tap into areas of our lives we never knew we could. In fact, you never know your potential until you get there.
Stretch yourself one bit at a time. Push yourself to the limit and then some. We sometimes buy into the lie that our capacities are fixed and that’s it. Our capacities are designed to expand and it’s up to us to put the work in. It’s crazy to think that for many of us the only thing standing between us and accomplishing our dreams is our comfort zone.
Don’t be afraid to fail, its part of the journey. Just make sure you are learning because every opportunity is an opportunity to get better.
So, go and join that race, write that book, do that speech. Go on that adventure, start the business, quit that job and bet on yourself. Dream big, invest in yourself, and do something!
I leave you with this. When was the last time you tried something new for the first time?
Grow as you go!
