Get outside of Your Comfort Zone

I love stepping out of my comfort zone, I thrive off the thrill even if I’m completely petrified by it.

I believe it’s not only where growth and development happens, but it’s where the living happens.

It’s the memories you make, the things that you learn, and how those lessons shape the trajectory of your future.

Because when you go out of your comfort zone, and it works, you succeed at it, there is literally no better feeling. Courage and confidence will begin to flourish in these moments of achievement.

“A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there” — John Assaraf

I used to push the edges of my comfort zone more often, but as I have gotten older it’s maybe a little less so. With all of the turbulence that the rona has caused over the last few years, a comfort zone has actually been the goal.

I haven’t had the headspace or the desire to push too many boundaries, as it’s been more about survival mode.

But this weekend I made a comeback of pushing those boundaries again and it revived an energy and fire within me. I’m reminded of why it’s good to do hard things.
