Why breaking out of your comfort zone can change your life!

We all have our comfort zones.  We have them in our personal life, in our business life, in our spiritual life and so on.  Comfort zones are great until they stop us from achieving much bigger and better things which is often the case.  And I believe all of us have potential we don't reach because we won't break out of our comfort zone.  Why?  Because we might fail at something?  So what if we do!  How many success stories do we know of that have failed. 

Vonetta Flowers was a world class athlete in Track & Field.  She qualified for the Olympic trials on multiple occasions and felt like she was destined for greatness in T & F.  The only problem was she never made the Olympic team.   Her primary sport all her life and the sport she was certain was going to give her an Olympic gold medal was Track & Field.  However, it just wasn't meant to be.  Distraught, demoralized and not knowing what to do next something great happened to, Vonetta.  She saw a flyer looking for strong and explosive athletes to try out for the bobsled team.  Not knowing anything about the sport of bobsledding she decided "what have I got to lose."  She decided to step out of her comfort zone and try something new.  Well, not only did she excel in this sport she won an olympic gold medal in a sport she probably didn't even knew existed 5 years prior to doing it!  She stepped out of her comfort zone and achieved her dream.   

Folks, in this day and age of opportunity at every corner don't let staying in your comfort zone stop you from achieving some of the great things you're destined for.  Step out of your comfort zone and make some new friends that inspire you.  Find another job/business that can lead to the great things in life you deserve to enjoy.  Don't give up and settle for something just because that's all you ever knew.  All this does is just lead to more misery and it prevents you from reaching new heights you never thought could happen.
