Do You Settle For The Ordinary?

"Everything you want is outside your Comfort Zone. If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will settle for the ordinary."

Now, unless you are happy with where you are, you do realize that "Everything you want is OUTSIDE of your Comfort Zone, right? You can't continue doing the same things and expect different results. Where you are now has been based on your current thinking, but your current thinking will not be able to lift you out of this spot. You need new thinking...that's right NEW thinking, or at least different thinking to help you get what you want. Getting out of your Comfort Zone is not always easy and sometimes it's even irritating, but you have to do it if you are going to get what you want.

We really shouldn't call it a Comfort Zone because there is no comfort there.  It's more of aFamiliar Zone, becasuse we have become familiar with the pain and the pain we know is always less scary than the pain we don't know.

"If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will settle for the ordinary." Are you willing to risk the unusual or are you too deeply ingrained in your Comfort/Familiar Zone that you can't? Have you settled for the ordinary when you could have had the extraordinary?

Reminds me of another of my favorite quotes and that is "The space for what you want is currently occupied by what you have settled for." This doesn't just mean material things, but relationships, jobs and thoughts. What have you realized now that you've settled for? Can you change that? Do you even want to change it or do you want to continue in your Comfort/Familiar Zone and ordinary?

Know.  Be Known.  Make A Difference!

"Everything you want is outside your Comfort Zone. If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will settle for the ordinary."
