“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching.”

Getting out of your comfort zone is crucial to actualizing your goals and dreams. If you want something that you don’t already have, there’s a good chance you’ll have to do things that you haven’t already done. Doing those things may not feel natural to you. You may even feel uncomfortable and awkward. But ultimately, behind the frightening facade of fear is a bigger version of who you already are.

Cracking your comfort zone involves feeling fear and befriending it. Your fear is there for a reason. Respect and embrace it. The trick is to not let it immobilize you, but instead, use it as a driving force to take you where you want to go. When you learn how to accept and embrace your fear of the unknown, you open yourself up to an endless opportunity of unfettered, unlimited potential. Today, do not run from your fear of the unknown. But rather accept that it is part of your growth process and flow through your fear, instead of fighting it. Your self growth happens one tiny step at a time. Today, take a tiny step out of your comfort, zone, knowing and trusting that you will always be safe, protected and guided by a force so much bigger than your fear.

Just for today, I am willing to step out of my comfort zone and experience life in a whole new way. I now flow easily with new experiences, new challenges and new people who enter my life. I am courageous. I am whole. I stand in my power to create my own life, and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
