There's No Safety In Your Comfort Zone

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."~Charles Darwin  

How responsive are you to change? REALLY? Or are you just saying that you are responsive to change? Most people are afraid to step out of their comfort zones and make changes. They like to stay "safe" in their little area and not venture out. Here's the sad thing about them; they are not safe, they just think that they are safe.  

Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher said "The only thing that is constant is change."  In the book Changing for Good, authors James Prochaska, PH.D., John Norcross, PH.D., and Carlo DiClemente, PH.D. detail a six-step program for making purposeful change in your life. What makes this book unique is that, rather than telling you their theory on how to make a change, the authors studied people who had successfully made changes in their lives.

Think about this, Richard Bach said “What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly." What would happen if the caterpillar didn't make his cocoon because he was scared? Or if once he made it, he didn't want to come out of it. It's safe, warm and a great place to be. Well then, why are you still stuck in your cocoon? What's stopping you from breaking out and becoming that beautiful butterfly?

Stop relying on your strength or intelligence and really be responsive to change. Change will create exactly what you want. Step out of your cocoon or comfort zone and become what you were meant to become.

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Change Your Beliefs

“Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as you change your beliefs.”
Do you believe this? Really? Then why haven't you done the things that you never dreamed possible? What's stopping you from doing it? It is our beliefs that hold us back. What belief do you have that's holding you back? You aren't smart enough? Your too old? You're doing the only thing you know how? What is holding you back?

Dr. Joyce Brothers said "In each of us are places where we have never gone. Only by pressing the limits do you ever find them." Have you pressed your limits? Why not? Fear only exists in your mind, nowhere else. Are you ready to do things you've never dreamed of???

Action:
Analyze your beliefs about yourself. See what those beliefs hold for you. It's never too late to be who you were meant to be. Make it happen!!

Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!
