My Comfort Zone

My Comfort Zone     ~Unknown





I used to have a comfort zone

where I knew I wouldn't fail.

The same four walls and busywork

were really more like jail.





I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,

But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.





I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.

I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such.

I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,

But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.





I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.

I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.

I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,

I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.





If you're in a comfort zone,

afraid to venture out,

Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.

A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.





Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!
