Out of the Comfort Zone
I’m afraid says the humble child
Be brave says the guiding adult
We are made to struggle
We are made to question
We are made to step out, step up.
There is unique comfort in repetitive behavior
Safe harbor where we stay in our being
But then the question arises
Should I leap
Should I venture alone
Should I reach out, reach in.
A scary place- our child-self taking the first step.
We do not grow unless we leap
Into the unknown where mystery hides
Venture out of your comfort zone
Attack that negative self
Yes I can, yes I can
If that little engine can climb the hill
You can achieve all the mountains you choose to cross.
