YOU KNOW BETTER....YOU BETTER!
We live our lives working to create comfort. We buy cushions for our shoes, invest in great bedding, and spurge on luxury when we travel. The idea is that if you're comfortable then you're "good." But who wants to live life just being "good." We were created to be GREAT! But so easily, we put ourselves in these comfort zones. This is where mediocracy resides. We put ourselves in these day-to-day routines where you're not really happy or sad...you're just...JUST!
What is wrong with a comfort zone you may ask? I say EVERYTHING! You should LIVE life and not just EXIST in it! But what happens if it doesn't work? What happens if you make a mistake? BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF IT DOES WORK? Are you afraid of being great?!
I decided to leave my life of comfort in a day-to-day routine about 6 months ago. I left a pretty comfortable job that ensured a bi-monthly paycheck and it even had purpose. But it just...wasn't...right! And although the last 6 months haven't been predictable or cookie-cutter...they have been the best months of my life! I have learned more in the last few months about myself than I discovered in the last 25 1/2 years. I woke up one day and decided to LIVE life...and CHOOSE happen...and not wait for HAPPY to HAPPEN. I have explored through traveling, adventure, and even random experiences. I have taken chances and pursued the desires of my heart. I even decided to start this blog! I finally feel like the journey to a life of purpose and living the life God intended for me to live has begun. And nothing about it is mediocre and not knowing what the end will look like definitely isn't comforting...but it has been more than worth it. I know everything will work for my good in the end. The best thing about removing yourself of comfort zones..is when you really trust God to handle things...you kind of have no choice but to trust him fully...and when THAT happens...MAGIC HAPPENS!
So ask yourself...am I too comfortable? Am I living ? Or am I existing? I challenge you to get out of your own way...relieve yourself of your comfort zone and LIVE! So sing it with me...*in the tune of No Flex Zone* "No comfort zone...No comfort zone...you know betta...you know betta!"
