My Zone

Carrying a blankie or sucking thumb, we all do something or have done something that makes us feel at ease. 

So often we can get stuck in our comfort zone and not move.  This ultimately will block us from growing in life and being where we should be.

I'm all about being comfortable, Ms. Jeans and a T-shirt 24/7 if I could.  Ms. Let's just stay at home and not come out. 

I've come out of my comfort zone alot in certain areas and then there are some that it's taken a little long mainly because of fear.  Before tonight, I could name off all these different types of fears that I think keeps me in my box BUT God just whispered to me, it's the fear of being vulnerable (this can be a posting all by itself).  This has been a reminder for me lately (it reminds of my son)...

Now there are some key things that I want and for the longest I've thought it wasn't mine to have nor give to myself.  Just within the last couple of weeks, I've been believing that I have more power to get those items than I've lead myself to believe.  One way is to definitely step out of my comfort zone.

Stepping out of my comfort zone, I'm realizing doesn't mean I have to give up everything that makes me comfortable. 

There is a saying that says, "If you want something you've never had, you must do something you've never done.  For my spiritual growth, I think about this quote alot and try to change in areas of my life.

Staying in your comfort zone vs Living in a box, is it different or the same?  As I ponder this more, I will have to let you know what I decide. The living in a box question goes along with a post a wrote awhile back about living life.

Until we meet again, I challenge you to do something outside of your comfort zone.
