e grateful for the things in life that put you out of your comfort zone. The things that scare you, the things you fear; these provide the platform upon which you’ll prosper!
God, fate, or whatever higher power you believe in has purposely put these obstacles in your path because the time is right for you to grow stronger. It is part of your destiny that you’ll be met with these challenges to overcome, because in doing so, you will gain the skills and strength to keep fighting for your dreams.
Therefore be grateful because these trials and tribulations are here for a reason. God wants to test your strength in preparation for what’s coming next on your path to success. Remember, ‘you were given this life because you are strong enough to live it’. Know that God wants you to go through this because from it, you will GROW.
Eric Thomas emphasised the concept of conquering your fears of the unknown. He said, “Get to the point where you feel comfortable with being uncomfortable.” Imagine the pillar of strength you would be, the day you step out of your comfort zone harbouring no fears on the mind.
No-one ever became great by doing what made them comfortable. Successful people don’t walk down easy lane. They thrive on the boundaries of their territories of familiarity. They live on faith, not fear.
Go and explore untravelled lands.
Go and discover uncharted territory.
Go and venture out into the unknown.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Get familiar with the unfamiliar.
Know the unknown.
See the unseen.
Conquer whatever it is that is forcing you to step out of your comfort zone.
Is it a test? A speech? An interview?
Is it a person? An opponent? A relationship?
Is it travel? Freedom of choice? Trying something new?
Is it fear of judgement, failure, disapproval, rejection?
Is it non-conformity? Not fitting in? Making a stance? Breaking the mould?
Ask yourself, what is it that you fear?
What is it that lies beyond your comfort zone?
As Neale Donald Walsh put it, “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”.
No matter what happens – good or bad – know that it is part of the process to get you to where you want to be!
Trust the process! The road to greatness is seldom smooth.
Remember when you first set that goal for yourself?
You said you were willing to do whatever it took to reach that goal!!!
Well, doesn’t that include accepting the challenges, wrestling through the tough times, and sometimes living through the uncomfortable?
Are you still determined to give it everything you’ve got and let nothing stand in the way?
‘Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will!’ – Suzy Kassem
Next time an obstacle or adversity plants itself in your path, don’t fear! Just think of how much you will GROW once you overcome the uncomfortable!
Remember the words of Eric Thomas: “Run through the pain because your success is on the other side of it!”
Stop fearing the unknown. The comfort zone is no place for winners!
Happy Motivation Monday!
Love, Young and Unheroic
