I received an email with a quote today from Paul Martinelli and it said “If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone”. Thank you for the reminder Paul! I have been out of my comfort zone for a few years now, since I decided to become a LifeSuccess Consultant. And today I needed to be reminded that I am growing, that’s why I feel uneasy about my next steps.
I have been asked to start working on a few projects, completely out of my league, but amazingly in line with where I’m going. And I’m having one of those moments when you ask looking up in the sky “How am I suppose to do that?” and then I hear Bob Proctor saying “You don’t know how, it’s going to be shown to you.” Ever since I have heard that sentence by Bob Proctor in the movie The Secret, it has triggered my letting go and trusting that Life is good. Every time that I have embraced an opportunity and trusted that I would know how on the way, it did happen. Have I grown? Definitely! Am I better? In a few areas I am… I am not perfect, and no one is on this planet, since we’re all here to learn and grow. Do I have a greater confidence in my abilities? Absolutely!
I use to be paralysed by indecision: I didn’t want to be out there in a danger zone. The mass consciousness of fear was very prevalent in my life. I took on a challenge only if I knew I could succeed and I was encouraged by others. Not anymore. I make my own decisions, according to where I’m heading, and then sometimes discuss it. I have the tendency to give a challenge everything I got. I think that’s how I grow and keep myself out of my comfort zone.
This weekend, I got a proof that I am leading by example. My 15 year old son was commenting that too many of his school mates didn’t like getting out there, out of their comfort zone. I asked more details, to see if we were talking about the same thing, and was I surprised! I love those moments when I get a sign that I did a good job, so far, at being a parent. He was telling me that he thinks they don’t like to try new things or to take risks and that they are not living fully their youth. Sad…
His final comment was: I don’t like being in a comfort zone, it’s boring.
Keep growing and thinking like that!
