It’s big. It’s scary. It is way, way, WAY out of your comfort zone. And if you are determined enough to step toward it anyway, you’ll actually find that it isn’t so big, it isn’t so scary, and your comfort zone will be bigger than you thought it ever could be.
“It” is your dream. Your vision. That thing that you’ve been longing to do, to be or to have for so long.
It’s a natural human trait to want to stay in the familiar, even if the familiar is making you miserable. It’s all about safety. Familiar equals safe. Unfamiliar equals danger. Well, that’s what our minds tell us.
Our imaginations are great at exaggerating the negatives. Our imaginations love catastrophizing.
But all it takes is just one step to realise that there is no catastrophe.
Each step toward your dream is a step of growth for you. Each step expands your comfort zone just that little bit more.
Take enough steps and you will be different. What you are comfortable with and what you are capable of will be that much bigger. And you’ll look back on all those imagined scenarios and those fears and wonder what the fuss was all about.
But you have to be willing to take that very first step.
So, what’s that one step that you will take today?
