It’s Time To Be Uncomfortable

Living in the comfort zone can be your enemy, and it can kill your potential. We have a natural tendency to gravitate towards our safe zones. But if we want to achieve greatness, if we're going to grow, we must travel outside of our comfort zone. We must push past our self-inflected comfort zones and not be afraid to explore new routines, paths, and ideas, so that we may get closer to our life’s purpose. You see, excellence comes from continually stretching to reach a much higher goal. 

Stepping outside of our comfort zone involves the risk of attempting something that we might not succeed at, but the cost will be much higher if we do not take the risk. If you want to keep on learning and growing, you must keep stepping out of your comfort zone and embrace new challenges, try new things, experience new experience and regularly take calculated risks. Taking risks is what helps us grow, yes, we will have a little anxiety, but when we challenge ourselves, we tend to rise to the occasion.

Uncle Paul’s Thought: Life’s journey, is filled with countless lessons, but if we are to learn and apply those lessons, we must be willing to step outside of our comfort zones and live in the present moment. When we step out of our comfort zone, we’re taking a risk, and opening ourselves up to the possibility of stress and anxiety, but we are also opening ourselves, to a new and challenging task. We must be willing to take risks; we must be willing to step outside of our comfort zone and into the discomfort zone and face our uncertainties and reap the benefits and the rewards.

It’s Just A Thought
