Hello Dear Friend,
Think about every great thing, accomplishment or memorable event (could even be when you made a mistake) you have initiated…take some seconds and think about this…what was your emotional state right prior to when it took place?
Did you know it would be great and/or memorable?
Did you have high nervous energy or a great deal of anticipation?
Describe how you felt about this undertaking?
This is the point::
I would bet that in most of these instances you went BEYOND YOUR COMFORT ZONE. You took action IN SPITE of how you felt.
What does this tell us? It would seem that to achieve great things or make big memorable mistakes (in order to learn big lessons) we need to get uncomfortable. And actually, being uncomfortable may be the best sign we are on to something big.
So here’s what I would recommend – highly…
LOOK for those areas where you are uncomfortable and
MOVE toward them.
SEEK out things to do and people to interact with that makes you a bit ( or more than “a bit”) uncomfortable.
Reflect on this…what makes you uncomfortable? There might exist your biggest opportunities for growth.
And furthermore, when we stretch our self and grow through love, acts of service, forgiveness, etc. we transform our world. The transformation begins with our self. Then it moves out to the various circles we impact; home life, relationships, work/business/school and our community and ‘place of worship’ life – what we call the Five Vital Venues of life.
Like a pebble landing in a pond, the impact begins with our inner world and spreads out to the entire world.
So, you want to impact the world? Do SOMETHING UNCOMFORTABLE and be the pebble in the pond of growth and tremendous impact! 🙂
Wishing you an abundance of growth through discomfort….:-)
~♥~
