If you do not get uncomfortable, you might never be ready to grow. You go through life everyday trying to simply manage whatever life has given you. You tiptoe through life managing all the minimums you can get so that at least you survive till the next day. A question I want to ask you is what is survival if you are not progressing? How much more of survival can you take while still being the same person you were yesterday.

If the person you were yesterday does not embarass you today, maybe its time to grow. It does not embarass you so bad that you want to completely dissociate from your old self, but it makes you laugh so hard about your old self. But you do not stop even at who you are right now, you keep pushing. Keep moving everyday so that you can improve.

What you are most afraid of right now might really kill you or make you stronger than you can ever imagine. You sometimes need to be ready for when it happens, but if you keep hiding everyday, running away and wishing it never happened, then it never might happen and you would not have found out what would have happened if you did try it out.

To succeed does not necessarily mean you know what is next for you. It means that you are willing to sacrifice the happiness you have now for something greater tomorrow. You are willing and ready to keep pushing for what you want and not be afraid of what is going to come at the end of it. The most important thing is that you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone.

As you start your day today, so many things would make you scared, but you can also decide to allow that fear make you stay where you are or you can take that fear and push yourself up. Up to the level and skill you want to be at. No matter how much you fear, the result is always can always change if you get started today. The number of days we spend on this earth does not matter if we do not push ourselves out of the comfort zone everyday. The comfort zone is cool because it is familiar. We see everything around and it is the way it always is. So why give that up for something you are not familiar with.

But do you know that what is familiar might be what is holding you down and holding you back. You might have to let go of what is familiar before you can begin to see what needs to be done to move further and get better. Never let fear of what is out there keep you away from achieving what you set out to achieve.

So I ask you today, what is that thing that most scares you, but if you try to push through, you can be a much better person than you can ever be? The time to always push out of your comfort zone is now. Tomorrow might be too late. Get started now. Go push yourself. Thanks and God Bless.
