Experience The Unfamiliar
The Leap Of Faith....
Stepping out of your comfort zone may not be a familiar experience. It may not be something that you normally do. There are many positive, motivational quotes for doing so. For going the extra mile, when you feel you can’t. Life begins at the end of your comfortable boundaries. It’s said that great things happen out of your comfort zone.
What they are really saying is that you don’t always have to live life away from where you are comfortable. They are simply saying that in order to achieve what you think you may not be capable of, you need to go above, and beyond at times.
When you make the decision to act on something, you may not have the experience that you were maybe hoping for, or wishing for. It could be a positive, awesome experience, or a total let down. That is irrelevant to the fact that have taken yourself away from what you are comfortable with. Think about what it is that you want.
You may have always said you’d like to visit a certain country, but you’re held back by the fact you can’t speak the local language. Learn it. Visit it. You may say that you’ve always wanted to try a new restaurant but may have never tried that type of food before. It’s the age old saying of how do you know if you never try.
We’re not saying that what you may be changing, experiencing or doing has to cost you a fortune, but again, a great quote says that every accomplishment starts with the decision to try, regardless of how big or small it is.
When you step out of your comfort zone, as said above, you are looking manage anxiety, rather than lose control of your emotions. Understand that you will always have support from those in your life who mean the most to you, who you can trust, and those who want to see you living your life with passion. Look at the new things you will experience, be grateful for them, reflect on them, and be inspired by them.
Stepping away from what is comfortable can lead to a plethora of emotions surfacing. Some of you may be anxious, nervous, and maybe even scared. Know that you will not be the only one out there that has these emotions. You will be stepping into that space just outside of your boundaries. Embrace the challenge.
Take the above points into account. Others who have the same feelings as you will all be heading in the same direction as you. Many people fear failure. It’s one of the main reasons we don’t take the step in the first place.
Don’t be afraid of it. You will grow with taking the step away from familiarity. Every obstacle you cross, every step you take, every kilometer you cover is a step in the right direction that you will find reward for, and find justification for taking the unfamiliar leap.
