Sharing Resources to Help You Grow Personally, Professionally & Financially

Sometimes it helps to get a little dose of encouragement—along with a good cup of coffee!—to start the day. Today we discuss "zone".

Hopefully, the message below will help you get off to a good start for the week. Please feel free to forward the newsletter along to others who you think would benefit from the content.

Zone

Get up. Eat breakfast. Go to work. Come home. Eat dinner. Watch TV. Go to bed. Repeat.

 

While the above may not describe your day exactly, my guess is that most of your day IS spent in your personal comfort zone.

 

• Do you think there is much chance of making a significant breakthrough in your life if you spend all of it in your comfort zone?

 

It’s easy to fall into the trap of repeating the same things over and over and not stepping out to try new things. I’m as guilty as the next person in falling into the trap of the “comfort zone”. After all, “comfortable” is often very enjoyable!

 

But if you want to drive change, to get to the next level, or to move from success to significance, you’re going to need to step out of the comfort zone. Scary? You bet! But there’s one thing I’ve learned time and time again:

 

• Rarely do I regret the things I do. Often do I regret the things I do not do.

 

Yes, stepping outside your comfort zone has the risk of putting you in the “danger zone”. However, the alternative is to live a life of regret and my guess is that it’s not an experience you’d care to have!

 

My challenge to you this week is as follows:

• Take an action in one area of your life – faith, friends and family, fitness, or finance – that moves you out of your comfort zone.

 

Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me and have a great week!
