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!

Why You Should Define What You Want

If you do not know what you want to achieve in your life, speed doesn’t matter.

Competition doesn’t matter. Work doesn’t matter. Thinking does not matter.

What truly matters is what you want. Know what you want, then do whatever you can to make it happen.

But you must define it first. To do that, according to Dan Sullivan and Dr. Ben. Hardy, ask yourself the following questions:

‘What are you ultimately going for?

What are you ‘optimizing’ for?

What level of capability and results do you want to develop and master?

What are the standards you want to refine and actualize?’

Interesting, right? When you are answering them, be specific about what you truly want, what you care so much about.

Answer them in your own unique ways. Why? Because, according to Dan and Dr. Benjamin, ‘Your agency as a person is based on what you choose to develop yourself into.’ And, ‘It’s your responsibility to to define what you want and to direct your focus and attention toward that.’

Remember that ‘whatever you focus on, you become.’
