"Go for it now. The future is promised to no one." - Wayne Dyer
Getting out of your comfort zone is very challenging. It makes us squirmy, anxious, nervous and riddled with self-doubt. This is the reason why we stay in bad jobs, relationships or just "settle" for a life we can tolerate.
The question must be asked though... ARE YOU HAPPY? Are you please with your position in the world? Are you accepting of the limited successes you have achieved up until now? Do you feel that you have maximized your potential and realized your talents?
Many people never try harder than is required to keep from feeling discomfort. They will stay on welfare, rather than get a job that may be difficult. They will stay with a spouse that abuses them, rather than face the fear of being alone. They will never make the call to that new prospect, rather accepting their place as a "just good enough" professional.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP: What will it take for you to decide TODAY IS THE DAY? The day of reckoning for you and your place in the world. The day you no longer accept your place, even if one of early success, and push to do more and be better. They day you start living the life you choose, not the one you have been given.
This may sound like a motivation speech, a half time rant from a coach or a sermon from a preacher, yet, it is more a discussion with yourself. It is about reflection and self understanding. It is about your willingness to have the most difficult discussion possible - the one with yourself.
Is today the day? Will you choose success or acceptance? Will you fulfill your potential or fall victim to its promises of "tomorrow?"
TODAY IS YOUR DAY... just go take it!
Cheers,
Zach
