In their lives most people operate within their current set point or live within their comfort zones.
Yet to get to their current comfort zones they have had to move beyond previous set points or comfort zones. However, with every new level there is always a new devil! This can be the obstacle that stops people moving forward and can keep them stuck. Some can remain stuck for the rest of their lives and end up looking back with regret on their lack of motivation and action.
If we know that the good fruit hangs from the high thinner branches of a tree, then there is a risk of a fall if we try to pick it. Yet if the fruit is tasty and juicy it is likely to be worth taking the risk.
The good things in life are our fruit. In order to experience the things in life that we know will explode our potential and purpose and allow us to be in more control of our destiny we need to be bold and push through our comfort zones.
To move beyond your current level, consider the following steps:
- Firstly, make a decision to do something different to be in control of your future.
- Secondly, create capabilities – if you need skills get them, take uncomfortable action, put yourself out there.
- Thirdly, remember there are always consequences – if you don’t take action, you may miss out, you may lose your soul and not fulfil your purpose.
- Fourthly, find that thing that drives you and create momentum. Daily progress towards your goals is crucial. You are only ever a few daily habits away from moving beyond your comfort zone.
Remember that success leaves clues. You can save yourself time and setbacks by engaging with others who have already achieved what you want.
