Pictures say everything
It can be easy to become comfortable, and that comfort can then become a trap. Though comfort feels nice, it can also hold you back from being your best. After a while, as good as it can feel, comfort will become stale and tedious. You have a fundamental need for growth that, sooner or later, must be fulfilled.Instead of using the comfort you've achieved as a refuge from life, use it as a platform from which you will have the confidence to reach even higher. When you're feeling comfortable, see it as an opportunity to raise your standards.No matter what level you've reached, you are always capable of reaching even higher. What a shame it would be to miss out on life's biggest opportunities just because you wanted to stay comfortable.Think back on all the times in your life when you've made the greatest progress. Although those times very likely felt uncomfortable, look at all the wonderful and valuable things you accomplished.Enjoy the comfort you've earned, and then step boldly beyond that comfort. For there's no end to the real value and joy that you can create.Picture of my grandson Ryan

Outside Your Comfort Zone

Being comfortable can be nice and pleasant. Yet too much
comfort can softly and steadily erode your sense of purpose
and even your most treasured dreams.
Being too attached to comfort can prevent you from venturing
forth and fulfilling your best possibilities. In order to
maintain your level of comfort, you may well be tempted to
compromise the values you hold dear.
Enjoy the comfort that you have attained, while being
careful not to let that comfort become a prison. As nice as
comfort can be, so much of life's richness lies outside the
boundaries of your comfort zone.
As with most things in life, comfort is best when it is
experienced in moderation and balance. Even comfort loses
its desirability when it is the only thing you ever
experience.
Enjoy and be truly thankful for the comforts in your life.
At the same time, balance those comforts with real and
demanding challenges.
Maintain a comfortable place in your world from which you
can regularly emerge to take on the risks and challenges
that will add so much richness to life. Outside your comfort
zone, there are always new dreams waiting to be lived.
