Inspirational living

We humans tend to find comfort zone. It makes us feel comfortable and secured. We often forget to venture out of this comfort zone. And the cost we pay is, missing out on new experiments, new experiences of life. But the truth is, we can only grow if we are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when we try something new. It has been said that, “If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness”! How true! We must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown.

Let’s read out this wonderful poem depicting the need of getting out of our comfort zone.

My Comfort Zone

I used to have a comfort zone

Where I knew I wouldn’t fail.

The same four walls and busywork

Were really more like jail.

I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,

But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn’t matter that I wasn’t doing much.

I said I didn’t care for things like commission checks and such.

I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,

But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win.

I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.

I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,

I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you’re in a comfort zone,

Afraid to venture out,

Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.

A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.

Reach for your future with a smile;

Success is there for you!
