Step Out of Your Comfort Zone!
This week was spent post festivities in meeting up with prospective Investors, counseling colleagues and convincing my younger brother to start his exercise regime again. One thread that was common among all the three was to push them to Step Out of Their Comfort Zone. For me, Comfort Zone is a situation where one feels safe or at ease. I strongly believe that stepping out of the Comfort Zone is the key to discovering our passion, accomplishing our goals, and finding happiness. I have seen many times it takes a lot of courage, energy, and motivation to make a bold move and step out of the Comfort Zone.
In the last few years of our Startup Journey, I had observed that every time we had an idea or a goal, we would start, but along the way, things would go wrong, distractions, other ideas, other opportunities, failure, negative self-talk, etc, would get in the way. We very quickly learned that we will require self-regulation, self-control, and willpower to come out of our comfort zone. I think in our minds, we’re all geniuses and mentally strong. But when the work comes, we avoid things that we have to do, we can't help but delay work, if we don’t know, we will make something up. And that’s true for the small and big tasks. We forget that nothing will help us if we don’t have that inner drive, self-motivation, and courage to step out.
I have seen with many that when any opportunity presents itself to them, it’s fear that holds them back to come up against their comfort zone. In my Morning walk with my Mentor today, he suggested that to abandon our comfort zone we need to expand our horizon and purpose of life by trying something new. As when we expand our horizon and purpose, it elevates our thinking too. It will require us to learn or experience something we never have, or opening ourselves up to new ideas and opinions. I know expanding our horizons may seem scary and intimidating at first, but I strongly believe that once we step out of our comfort zone, it will make a big difference to our personal & professional lives. We need to get out of our comfort zone, give it a try, I bet we won't regret it.
Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊
