Comfort Zones and Why I Think They SUCK



What is ONE thing you've been wanting to do that's totally out of your comfort zone? And what is holding you back from doing it? Is it the big F-word (FEAR?!) These are 2 very good questions when it comes to your comfort zone!

I'm sure there are a TON of things that you don't want to do or are afraid to do because they are outside of your comfort zone.....but you need to PUNCH FEAR IN THE FACE and LIVE!! Our comfort zones can hold us back from doing great things all because of that one little F-word (nnoooooo not the F-word you are thinking of) FEAR!! We are all afraid of stepping outside of our comfort zone for many reasons....but fear seems to be the BIGGEST reason of all: Fear of Failure, Fear of Rejection, Fear of not knowing and the list goes on and on but the BIG question you need to ask yourself is: When you are gone from this life, how do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be remembered as the person that lived their life to the fullest everyday and took chances no matter what or do you want to be remembered as the person that lived the same life day in and day out and that lived life the 'safe' way? For me....I used to be the person that was going to be remembered as living life the 'safe' way until I realized that's not the life I wanted for myself or that I thought I was destined for so I stopped feeling sorry for myself and being a guest at my pity party and I threw comfort zones out the door! And guess what????? I didn't die from fear of failure, rejection or not knowing how it would turn out >>>>>> I'm actually the HAPPIEST and STRONGEST I've been EVER because I know everyday I am waking up knowing that no matter what I do, I will do something outside of my comfort zone each day! Sure I may get ignored or fail miserably some days but it won't kill me, it will only make me stronger and make me want to push harder the next day!

So THIS is why I say 'comfort zones and why they SUCK!' because our comfort zones hold us back from being the GREAT people we are destined to be in this world! Don't let things or people hold you back, be who you know you are and don't change that for anyone!

Today I challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone and do something you've been afraid to do....look FEAR right in the face and say 'I'm doing this whether you are in my way or not!'
