Are you comfortable? Yes? That's too bad...


Dare to dream.
Don't settle for mediocrity.
Too many people forfeit their dreams and instead take what they see as the easier path. The thing that they fail to see is that just because a path has become more familiar does not mean it is the path they belong on.
  • A well-worn path offers no new view.
  • The same routine holds no excitement.
  • The deeper the rut, the harder it is to climb out.
So why do we stay on that path? Because we know it well. It has become a sort of comfort zone. But we have to ask ourselves...is comfort fun? Is comfort exciting? And most of all...is comfort fulfilling?

From discomfort have come the most amazing contributions...
  • Instead of cursing the darkness, Edison invented the lightbulb.
  • Instead of being confined to the ground, the Wright Brothers took flight.
  • Instead of watching children become crippled by Polio, Salk created the Polio vaccine.
What amazing things might you accomplish by dreaming beyond your path, beyond your rut, beyond your zone of comfort?

For beyond your zone of comfort lies your zone of success.
Take the first step.
Discover your journey.
Think beyond average.

Living, learning, laughing,

  1. Michelle,

    Last night I was laying in bed, self-doubting decisions that I have made...like questioning the HOA about my kids pool, which has been viewed as "fighting" and being an "enemy". Your post has helped me remember that it is good to advocate for what is just even if it is problematic at times!

  2. I'm so glad! As a blogger (new, even) I often wonder if people even read them...I'm glad you did and that it helped!

    Now...read the one about me falling out of bed if you need a good laugh!

    Hang in there!
