Heartfelt Gift for our Readers: My Comfort Zone



This was read at a women's empowerment seminar. I feel so...powerful when I read this, and so I thought I'd share it with you.


My Comfort Zone


Author Unknown


I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail.

The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.


I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.

I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.



I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.

I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.


If you're in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,

Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!
