TAKE THE RISK

Is playing it safe—safe? If I'm being honest, taking risk and stepping out of my comfort zone scares me. I need to feel secure and comfortable.  However, not taking risk also keeps us from growing and living the life that we imagine. I can look back over my life and see that every time I took a step of faith or a chance, it always catapulted me into the next great thing.  

I believe that taking risk and stepping out of our comfort zone is how we grow and where the sweet spot of life is. But how do you push past fear and take a risk? How do you take the first step? It comes down to our desire for more, for change, or for growth has to outweigh our desire to be safe and comfortable.

For me, it starts small. Taking a risk by doing something different with my hair.  Wearing clothes that are outside of my norm.  Trying activities that I wouldn't normally do.  Shopping in a different neighborhood that's new to me. The more we get out of our head and allow ourselves to get comfortable with being uncomfortable with the small things the easier it'll be to tackle the big things. When I feel that little knot of fear rise up in my belly, I know that I have to push past the fear and embrace it!

It's okay to take your time and build to this. I encourage you this week to try one new thing that you wouldn't normally do.

Start small. Rome wasn't built in a day.
