Don’t Retreat To The Usual…

One must have the ability to adapt to change if they are to make progress on their journey called life. Most of us don’t like change and instead of adapting to change we often find ourselves retreating to what is comfortable or to our usual.

If you are to grow on your life’s journey, you must first do something that will challenge you. You must, look for a challenge, step out of your comfort zone, and once you do, it will help you overcome the fear of doing it. If you are willing to move out of your comfort zone, you will, in turn, be able to keep growing, learning and moving forward.

The only thing holding you back is the fear of the unknown. You see, within our comfort zone, there is a sense of familiarity, security, and certainty. But, once we step outside of our comfort zone, we’re taking a risk, and opening ourselves up to the fear of the unknown.

We must overcome those fears, and once we overcome them, our powers are limitless. We pay a steep price for our fear of change and our fear of the unknown. It is a very strong obstacle to our growth. There is no growing in life, without some difficulty and mistakes. If you want to keep growing, you must keep on risking failure. You must get comfortable with your discomfort. It’s as simple as that.

Whatever you do in life, don’t be one of those people who retreat to the usual, when the pressure is on. Instead, embrace the fear of change and open your mind to new possibilities and new journeys. – It’s Just A Thought – Paul Steven Smith (Uncle Paul)
