"The Comfort Zone"

Part 2

Last week I spoke about my experience of getting
getting out of the comfort zone. It was an
exhilirating and confidence building experience.
It felt so good to know that I really could do
something I had never done, in order to have what
I've never had. In order for things to change, you
must change first. And stepping outside of your
comfort zone is the first step towards change.

But, for most of us, it is no small step. In the
overall scheme of things, it is certainly a small
step. And it is the small steps, taken one at a
time, which leads to bigger and greater changes.
But, on the other hand, that first step is huge.
It is so huge, that most of us never take it.
We become frozen by the fear of the unknown, the
thought of doing something that we've never done
before. It's just too easy to stay where we are
and let well enough alone.

So, we continue to daydream about a better life,
more money, different job, more time for the
family and on and on. And our daydreams continue
to be just that....daydreams. The daydreams never
become a reality, the rat race continues to
consume our existence and we settle for whatever
comes our way, hoping for the best and trying
to make ends meet.

As Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) has said
in many of his books, "we must change our reality".
And the only way to even begin to change our
reality is to take the plunge, overcome the fear
and get out of our comfort zone. If you really
want to have what you believe you desire and
deserve, you must take the first step--as huge
as it might seem--and be willing to let go of
those "warm and fuzzy" feelings that make us
all feel so comfortable.

It is possible to get out of your comfort zone. I
did not say it was easy, I said it was possible. I
know because I have stepped outside of mine. And
you know what? I don't want to go back. It's a lot
more fun outside.
