Comfort Zone

Below is a poem by an unknown author. It's very simple yet quite motivational. Life is full of choices. I just hope, at some point of life, you will have the courage to step out of your safe zone, the cozy little place that we all have that prevents us from taking opportunities and experiencing different things in life. After all, dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. Quite possibly, it is all about the unfamiliar and the 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 just watching 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.
