Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

Withdrawing from a position of comfort and stability is one of the many reasons most people cannot excel to their next level when they would like to.  It is a hard situation to overcome and most people lack the necessary drive to remove themselves from their firm state of security.

Showing empathy, I can see why it would be difficult to step out of a comfort zone.  You may have been stable with your income but unhappy with the lack of growth or position.  So the sense of security steers one away from trying new things because of the uncertainty of losing what you currently have working at the moment.

Or maybe the current situation may provide enough stability to pay expenses, take care of your family, and provide an honest living but lacks substance that ignites your passion.  This could lead one to feel that other opportunities may enticing but what if I lose and can’t get back what I have going now?

Well I am here to suggest to you that any step in a direction you want to be is an accomplishment in its own right!  Do whatever it takes to move in that desired direction while keeping your sense of security.  Going all in and leaving everything behind may work for some people but not all.  There are gradual, baby steps that you can take to reach your goal and no one can determine that for you other than yourself.

Take courses, read books, go to seminars and webinars, network with individuals that are where you want to be.  These suggestions can all be done while maintaining your sense of security and allowing you to comfortably step into the new you!  No one said it would be easy but if it is for you, you will persevere.

With that being said, I do hope you appreciate our site, learn a great deal, and focus on building yourself for the person that you are to become.  Thank you in advance and for your time!
