Your Comfort Zone Is A Graveyard

Dreams go there to die.

Hopes, visions, missions, and world-changing ideas take their last rattling breaths there.

You lie to yourself that you’re growing there when you’re really decomposing.

Mediocrity gives you a sly wink as it eats your heart there and kills your drive to get up and go.

It’s nowhere you wanna be, so why do you live there?

This life isn’t about the soporific lull of your comfort zone while your beautiful dreams rot in your belly.

It’s not about drifting through your days in a haze of white noise, stasis, and apathy.

And it’s not about telling yourself it’s “too late” to change.

Are you breathing?

Are you functional?

Then it ain’t too late to change, begin, or pick up where you left off.

Buckle up.

Everything you want?

Is on the other side of your comfort zone.

“My destiny is louder than my comfort.”

Yrsa Daley-Ward

Go forth and conquer.

Conquer your fear.

Conquer your apathy.

Conquer your buts, can’ts, and if onlys.

Pump your dreams full of oxygen and do the work to see them flourish.

Dare to evolve now.

Because that thing close to your heart that blows your mind just thinking about it?

Is waiting on you to ante up and make your move.

What’s it gonna be?

You can click away and keep hiding.

You can pick apart my words and say I don’t know what I’m talking about.

You can even be briefly inspired before sinking back into a quiet, desperate life.

Or.

You dump some gasoline on that tiny spark inside you and fan it into a roaring blaze.

You decide that right here, right now, you won’t give up and you won’t be afraid.

You take a tiny step forward and make a plan to keep inching forward every. single. day.

You up your game and refuse to settle for one more second.

What it’s gonna be?

That’s up to you.

Make it count.

Don’t know how?
