Alright, comfort zones...they may even be a little nice at times...and COMFORTABLE. And we all tend to feel safe and secure when we stay in our little bubble...But that's all they will ever be. A comfortable.little.bubble. How lame. You can't grow in a bubble. You're stuck there. You can't even think of expanding you're horizon, or you're bubble will pop.
Pop? Yikes. Leaving you exposed to life. The cruel and relentless side of life that can leave you vulnerable to failures, mistakes, heartache and much, much more. Wait a second, that also means that would leave you open to all of the wonderful things in life as well that are only found outside of your comfort zone. This includes things like: experiencing daring adventures & endeavors that can positively turn your world upside down in the blink of an eye, falling in love & meeting your soulmate, learning new things, traveling the world, starting up your own business, getting in the best shape of your life, raising a family, being bat shit crazy whenever you damn well wanna be, pursuing a passion that you've placed on the backburner.
Life is about taking risks. Exploring. Dreaming and believing! I will say that I've had my fair share of just wanting to live 'inside' my little bubble before. I've felt so vulnerable at times, if there were a rock around, I'm 99.9% sure I would have crawled under it and stayed there for a long, long time. But I didn't, I couldn't. I knew God had/has big plans for me and staying under a rock isn't one of them. He has instilled a fire inside of me that just won't subside.
It's not easy when adversity has been thrown your way the majority of your life...but it sure does make your dreams glow a little brighter, resonate a little deeper and taste a little sweeter when your reach them.
Comfort zones are nothing but a safety net. Do you have dreams other than working in a cubicle from 9-5? If you say you don't, you're lying. Do you dream of the day when you can live the life you've imagined? Start now. Right this very second. Of course, we all have bills to pay and mouths to feed, so by no means am I saying to just up & quit your job right this second...but better yet, start taking action towards the life you dream of. (Disclaimer** You need to be smart about this so you're not living under a bridge by next Monday)
Tomorrow isn't promised. Your health isn't promised. The loved one you've dreamed of doing things with isn't promised either. That bridge you've burned is still burned, so start rebuilding it. Act...and act now!
Life is short, pursue your dreams.
