Risk More To Grow More

Growth doesn’t happen without risk. Nothing great happens without work. Work is a risk.

If you want more, stop talking about wanting more. Go to work. You can control what you do, but you cannot control what is going to happen after that.

Success is doing the work. It is not about planning to do the work. It is actually doing the work.

It is actually making yourself vulnerable. It is saying, ‘I will make it happen, no matter what.’ That is how we grow.

If you want to grow, if you want to change the direction of your life, don’t talk about growth. Instead, find out what you can do and get to work. Do it really well. Do it better than you did yesterday.

Get better every day. When you are consistent, when you do it every day, you will start to see growth in your life.

Because to grow is to change, to see what others are not seeing, to do what others are not doing, to think what others are not thinking, to love what others are not loving, to embrace what others don’t, and to risk what others are not risking.

‘You are growing when you have the courage to do what others are not doing.’

Are You Really Comfortable In Your Comfort Zone?

What are you doing to change your life, to change your situation? Are you doing what you love to do?

If not, what are you doing to get to where you want to be, to get what you want to get?

You have to act. Because no action, no growth.

If you are not where you are supposed to be, then you have got to do something. Do not wait for anyone to do it for you. Because no one is coming.

If you want to grow, you have got to take charge of your life. You have to be honest with yourself. Do not deceive yourself.

If something is growing, say it. If nothing is working, say it. Then go out there and ask for help.

Do not hide in your comfort zone. Because your comfort zone is not your friend. It is your enemy. It makes you comfortable for a day. But it is taking a lot from you.

When you are in your comfort zone, you stop growing. That is not who you are. That is not who you are becoming. If you want to change your life, it starts with you.

You have got to challenge yourself. Keep asking real questions. You must raise your standards. Do not settle for less. Don’t! Do what you can with what you have. It is better to try. If you do not try, you will never grow.

And if you love growth, you must leave your comfort zone.

As always, you are more, not less!
