The Future Shifts Our Comfort Zones

I was reading Daryn Kagan's blog this morning and she had this great quote. "The future enters into us, in order to transform us, long before it happens. " Ranier Maria Rilke

Wow - I get it! Have you ever felt like you just didn't belong anymore? This life you're living, this job you're working, the things you've been doing for years just don't fit you anymore. It is a very disturbing feeling, but now I see it. The future has come to me.

What is really fascinating about this is bringing it together with the concept of comfort zones. The "place" we live our lives every day is our comfort zone. It's pretty easy to be there. And making major changes takes us outside our comfort zone. Leaving it is difficult, and the single greatest reason we don't go after our dreams.

But what happens if we don't fit in anymore - if our comfort zone is no longer comfortable? Now we are pushed to go after a dream, reach a goal, because we are going to have to move to find a new comfort zone. The future has come to us and we can choose to sit around and be uncomfortable, or rise to meet the challenge and discover new horizons. I choose to go on the adventure! Will you come along?
