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!
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..."
