Love this poem:
My Comfort Zone
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. A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!
The Sole/Soul purpose of my writings is to inspire as a Montrail Athlete, Mother of 5 amazing kids, and Coach. Many stories of the trials on the trails, the long and windy road, the many good souls and soles, the lessons learned, wisdom gained through the stories that continue to unfold. By sharing we gain so much more of what is going on in this ever changing world ..as Thoreau says " Its not what you look at that matters, its what you see" something to ponder on, huh? Enjoy the journey

love that! it reminds me of what a friend just said about marathon training.. how it was becoming joyless and was like that old dunkin donuts commercial from the 80s. remember the glumness in his voice and resigned expression- "time to make the donuts..."
