Stepping Out of Your Comfort zone
We all have something in our lives we'd like to change, but we hold ourselves back for fear of failure, rejection, or even succeeding.
Have you been debating whether to have wls and you're afraid? What if I don't lose any weight? What if my husband doesn't like me thin, What if I die? What if I can't keep up with all those vitamins and protein? What if I can't afford it? Will my friends, family, and co-workers reject me? Will I have all that sagging skin?
Is there someone special you've had your eye on in church, at work, or in your support group? What if I ask him/her out and I am rejected. There's no way s/he would be attracted to me anyway?
Are you on a job you hate? What if I can't find a new job? What if I open my own business and it fails. Am I smart enough to go back to school? I haven't opened a book in 20 years?
Are you tired or renting an apartment or living with roommates? How can I buy a house? I don't earn enough! My credit sucks? What if I get foreclosed? What if I can't keep up the maintenance?
Are you in an abusive or unfulfilling relationship? Who else will want me with this fat, this excess skin, all these kids??? What if I can't pay the bills by myself? Maybe it's not my partner's fault things are going bad, maybe it's me. Do I deserve any better, or is this all I can get?
How many times have you subliminally told yourself I'm not pretty enough, smart enough, rich enough, thin enough, brave enough, talented enough to do _________?
Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and let destiny have it's way. The biggest barrier between you and your blessing is YOU!
The Comfort Zone
By Unknown
I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn’t fail.
The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,
But 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 commission checks 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 jus****ching others win.
I held my breath; I 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 comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile; Success is there for you!
