Just imagine yourself deciding against
- upskilling yourself as you get older
- looking for new opportunities when you feel dissatisfied at work
- moving out of a relationship, which doesn't seem to be working out, inspite of your best efforts
- pursuing your hobbies or interests, when there is clearly a need for you to relax and de-stress
Maybe you overlooked the long-term impact the above could have on you. The "present" may seem to matter more for you because it's not putting demands on you to do anything new or different.
But can you afford to remain oblivious to the need to grow and progress during these dynamic times?
MAYBE NOT !!!
Because it's anybody's guess about what all we stand to lose if we decide to remain static and inflexible.
REMEMBER - "You can't learn to swim in still water...You can't move ahead by confining yourself to status quo...You can't progress by staying stationary...You can't grow unless you nurture yourself"
And when living your BEST LIFE is at stake, you can't take chances by being average or mediocre.
The home you may have confined yourself to may seem comfortable for a while and in some cases, a while longer, but the charm soon wanes off. The familiar territory starts to appear so alien and the feelings of ease and comfort gets replaced with fear and uncertainty.
A comfort zone can feel like home, just like resting on the seaside after an exhilarating swim. If it is only about resting for a while, its absolutely fine BUT when you get too comfortable being comfortable that’s when the real problem begins.
When you become like a ship docked in harbour for too long, you stop exploring the waters.
When in comfort zone, be mindful about not staying there for too long else complacency will creep in and steal away your progress & potential.
So, GEAR UP to
- try something new,
- try some challenging stuff,
- push your limits &
- give the unthinkable a chance!
Stretch yourself a little more…Step beyond your comfort zone BECAUSE that is where the MAGIC is 😊!!!
