"He who cannot forgive breaks
the bridge over which he himself must pass."
"One of the secrets of success
is to refuse to let temporary setbacks defeat us."
"Many persons have a wrong idea
of what constitutes true happiness.
Do you have memory watching a baby learning how to crawl or a toddler learning how to walk? Or have you seen kids at the playground playing on new equipment? You will noticed that these little ones are not just willing but anxious to explore anything new. They simply follow the lead of other kids without worries, trying new tricks, and genuinely challenge themselves to do more, be more, and learn more. The reason is because kids frequently operate outside their comfort zone all the time. If you were to search the Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, it defines the word "comfortable" as: free from stress or tension; free from vexation or doubts. It defines the word "uncomfortable" as: causing discomfort or annoyance; feeling discomfort; feeling uneasy. The Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary defines the term "comfort zone" as: the level at which one functions with ease and familiarity. We can infer then that to get out of your comfort zone would be the level at which we function with disease and unfamiliarity. That means our actions and our behaviors will feel awkward, foreign, clumsy, and inept. Each time you get out of your comfort zone, you're going to feel like a child learning to walk. It is often talk about that the first time you attempt something, no matter what it is, will always feel strange and scary. You just has come to know that the first time is always the most difficult and that things get easier after that, so just making it through the first attempt is a triumph to be celebrated. You don't have to be "good" at something the first time, you just have to get through it. If you are doing that every single day, doing something new and unfamiliar that get out of your comfort zone - your success will likely come very quickly. Do those feelings ever go away? Yes, and no. If you get out of your comfort zone long enough it begins to feel comfortable. You expand the borders of what feels safe. Successful people just keep expanding the limits of what feels uncomfortable. As your actions, behaviors, tasks, and systems begin to feel under your control, step out into a new one. Keep the cycle of risk-taking active and alive. The only time you or your career and business will truly grow is when you are taking risks. If your desire is to be enormously successful, get "comfortable" when you get out of your comfort zone. Believe it, you will excel in no time.
