Most like living in the comfort zone of life. But is it really the comfort zone?

One can get confused as to what is comfortable and what is easy. And everyone can have their own definition from experience and their knowledge.

Yet the reality of the comfort zone is that you know what to expect. You may not like it, but you can deal with it.

But do you really just want to “deal” with life?

Living life from the rear-view mirror is tough enough. Why strap yourself to what you really don’t want so you don’t have to go and do what you really want.

Confused?

We all can live in confusion in order to accept the conclusion that nothing is going to change.

However, you know that not to be true. Change is a constant. Therefore, you can change your circumstances. You can get out of the safe harbor as Twain refers to the comfort zone and live life unexpectantly.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Live life unexpectantly!

Take it from Mark Twain; explore, dream, discover. That’s how you live life unexpectantly; without rules that bind your mind. You are to create. But in order to create your now, you must sail into unchartered territories.

1. RELINQUISH your boundaries. Most of your decisions are based not on possibilities, but on the probabilities of success. In other words, you are in control of what you can and will not do. If you are one who relinquishes your boundaries, it makes room for you to explore your options more clearly and precisely. You have to be careful of confusing facts with feelings. So be specific about what is the fact of the impossible versus the fact of success. Then stretch yourself beyond what you think you can’t do because of your feelings and observe the facts. This will open up your mind from a fixed to a growth mindset, making a way for your dreams and goals. Remember, boundaries come to protect that which you desire to pursue. But that happens after you let go of probabilities and look at possibilities.
2. ACKNOWLEDGE what you have to let go of. You know the season of life you’re in. Putting that aside for a moment, look at what is not serving you, what is holding you back, what is keeping your mind in lockdown, and acknowledge what you can let go of. Too many assumptions are made that there is not enough time and money to do what you want. However, if you want it bad enough, there are things you can let go of that are holding your mindset hostage to the point of blinding what you can’t see because you’re not honest with yourself and not looking. “Reflection is only as good as you are willing to acknowledge what is.” ~ Kristianne Wargo  Facts or fiction. It’s your game to play.
3. TAKE A.I.M. If you want something different than what you have, you must take A.I.M.; action ignites motivation. You have gotta get your motor running and take a chance on change to impact your life as you know it. Get out of the safe harbor and travel into uncharted waters.

Maybe you’ve tried to explore and dream. But the discovery part might be the challenge for you.

CHALLENGE: Where do you need to start in your everyday? Explore? Dream? Discover?

• Be willing to see your gifts and talents.
• Be patient with what you will need to learn. Times are different.
• Be respectful of your do’s and don’ts.
• Be kind and don’t dictate what’s possible. Nothing is impossible.
• Be loving to yourself when you fall. There will be more failures than successes.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
