Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

03/31/2017

I become an agent of change only to the degree that I begin to live to help things go right rather than simply to correct things that are going wrong.

"To lead an authentic life, we need to take on new challenges that stretch us and give us more opportunities to be ourselves. It is not that the authentic person does not feel... fear, but they are willing to face their fear," asserts Stephen Joseph in his Psychology Today article, "How to See Challenges as Opportunities: Don’t Think You Can Stay in Your Comfort Zone and Keep Learning."

"Authentic people won't let their path in life be dictated by what others think. They are open to new experiences and cherish the challenges of learning about themselves, but they know that it is like crossing a river on stepping stones—there is always the possibility of getting wet.

"The question is not how to lead a life in which we never feel the fear…but rather how do we move forward despite our fear. Are we able to transform our fear into an enthusiasm to engage with the new challenge and learn from it?"
