Your Comfort Zone

By far, one of the most difficult challenges necessary to BreakThru previous achievement levels and reach new success plateaus is to escape from our self imposed comfort zone…or zones. We all have them.

MY COMFORT ZONE

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I couldn’t fail,
the same four walls and busy work were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,
but I stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

I said it didn’t matter that I wasn’t doing much.
I said I didn’t care for things like money, jewels and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
but deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath and stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you’re in a self-made comfort zone afraid to venture out,
remember that all winners were once with similar doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Greet your future with a smile. Success is there for you!
