Develop Your Strengths...

“If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.”
― John Maxwell

Continue to expand your comfort zone...

One of the great purposes in life is to be alive, to grow and bring more of your natural and even sometimes unnatural gifts into the world. As a child, you naturally explored your world. You reached for more and developed new skills, new strengths. Some of those skills came naturally while others took more work to achieve. As an adult, you need to be more deliberate about growth.

You are actually equipped to keep growing. It is your natural state. That is why if you stay too long where it feels painless and comfortable you start to feel a little bored by your life. Here is a simple reminder to assist you in keeping inspired, eager and involved in life.

Be willing to work outside of your comfort zone and experience what more is out there for you. Then, look for ways to expand the boundaries in your life. One of the ways I do this is by working on my fear of heights. Whenever I have a chance to grow, one step at a time, I will take that chance. It might not be easy, but it is always rewarding. Last, you will need to teach yourself to live in the state of mind that will strengthen and stimulate you to keep growing. 

• Find areas where you have chosen to stop growing and recognize where you feel excited to broaden your horizons.
• Commit to develop those areas and make the time to invest in your growth.
• Next, make a list of actions you agree to take for your growth.
• Then, get started. Remember, YOU CAN DO IT!
