LAW #3: STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
So many of us would rather cling to the familiar than risk the unknown. The past is familiar, something we can hold on to, while the future is completely uncharted and feels groundless. But we must venture forward in order to grow.
I think I've been following Law #3 and I didn't even know it! My life-changing adventure with no plan or direction was definitely ME STEPPING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE! HEHE
Once we've gone inward, we can then step out beyond our comfort zone and find the courage to flow from our hearts. Going out on the ledge of our existence, we have no choice but to be real. When you are standing directly in the face of the unknown, all the rest of the phony stuff doesn't matter. In moments of great fear, everything else just falls away and tere is nothing buy you, your heartbeat, and your breath. Those are moments of pure truth, when you are cornered into simply being.
I think we all know someone like this (see below). They spend all their time complaining about their lives and never doing anything about it!
Stepping out of our comfort zone means dropping the patterns and stories of the past. Our patterns don't have to go on forever; we can leave the past behind us if we are truly willing. If we don't step out of the known–the comfort zone–we bring yesterday's limited thinking into the present, therefore dooming the present to be just like the past. We will keep repeating and doing the same things again and again, getting the same results, and then complain, "Nothing ever changes in my life." We seek proof of why we can't change, and all kinds of reasons why we won't let go of our dramas, stresses, resentments, fears, or self-destructive ways of being.
We all have the power to change our lives, we just need the courage to do it!
