Why You Need To Break Out Of Your Comfort Zone

I love this quote above,if you havn't heard it before it should speak volumes.

Einstein also said that it is a sign of insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect the results to be different.  Most of us aren't even aware that we are habitually repeating patterns safely inside our comfort zone.  After all, it feels good in there right?  That's why its called a comfort zone.  The problem is that we are generally unfulfilled there.  If we have hopes,dreams and aspirations for a better life they aren't going to be in our comfort zone, we know!  We're already there!

That's why you need to break out.

If you don't it will all stay the same.  Is that what you want?  I don't think so.
Yes,its scary,it can be uncomfortable just thinking about it.


But fear can be used as an inspirational tool.

When we overcome it and we achieve our goal as a result of that, the feeling of achievement is so intense!  It inspires us to break out more.
So the trick is a little at a time.  Focus on your end goal,envisage what that feels like, is it worth feeling the fear?  I am guessing it is.
And as you grow with it so will your confidence and your faith in yourself.

Ask yourself this...What would you do if you KNEW you couldn't fail?

Think about it, let your mind wander.  Did you come up with something new?  Or was it a dream that you have had for a long time but havn't moved any closer toward achieving?

What small step can you take today to move a little closer to your dream?

Will you do it?  Even if it is scary,just do one small thing.  And then give yourself a pat on the back you are closer today than you were yesterday but not as close as you will be tomorrow.  I often find that when the first small step has been taken it snowballs and you just want to do more.  It is the BIG picture thats scary.  The little steps are easy,and thankfully  it is the little steps that take you to the reality of your dream.

Think about what you are scared of. Fear of failure,success,what people may say/think of you?

As far as the failure part goes, there is no such thing. You can LEARN that that particular way does not work for you,and then try a different way.The great people of all time didn't suceed first time round,they just see failure as an opportunity to do it a different way!Look at it as a journey,if you lose your way try a different road.

As for success, it generally doesn't come overnight so you will have plenty of time to adjust to it on the way, one step at a time.

And what do people know about you?  No one knows what is best for you better than you. You know your dreams, they don't.  Even of you told them they still wouldn't see them exactly as you do.  Be proud of who you are, because there is no one in this world like you, show what you are made of and look back on your life and be thankful that you stepped out of your comfort zone and achieved your full worth and made your mark on the world.

Stepping out of your comfort zone can give you the life you always wanted.Write down how you truly want your life to be and focus on it,be positive,and take one small step,today.
