Going out of your comfort zone

This week has been a very trying week. I have learned valuable life lessons just by going outside my comfort zone.

I quit my job. This took a HUGE amount of courage from me because I have never been in this type of position. My nerves took over me and created a fear that was bigger than the action. I knew what I had to do. Finally, I just sat down with my boss and told her. In return, a position arose for me to remain at my job part time while I return to school. Wow. This is amazing, and my boss was really happy for me. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever foresee this happening. The weight bearing down on my shoulders has suddenly been lifted. Let me tell you, it was a HUGE weight. Now I have the opportunity to remain a valuable employee all the while chasing my dreams by going back to school.

I have also overcome a few smaller fears involving part of my new job. Going outside of your comfort zone will ultimately help you grow higher than you have ever dreamed you could grow. I am at such a peace as I am writing my blog. I feel I have accomplished something so big, yet the task was so simple.

Everyone lives in a shell and until you break that shell, you will not fully understand your purpose. Breaking the shell requires you to go out of your comfort zone and discover what you really can become.

We all build things up in our heads and make them so much bigger than they really are. We create fears from negative inner voices. This is why it is so important to stay positive and live outside of your comfort sometimes. You will reap the rewards.
