"It matters not what a person is born, but (whom) they choose to be."
–J. K. Rowling
One of the most important reasons I am a better person today is because I choose to ‘step outside the box’ now instead of living my life in continuous fear. Not stepping through my fear used to make me very unhappy, limited, and controlled.
Now, I am free of that! I am constantly and continually proving this to myself by ‘stepping outside the box’ when I am being challenged in life. I did something that I feared yesterday- going by ‘past experience’, it use to make me very uncomfortable, painful and scared. But, when I kept a few things in mind, it was easy!
Here they are:
1. Most of the things we worry about, never take place
2. Doing something I panic will make me a better person
3. I will gain more confidence and personal supremacy
4. My past does not equal my future
5. I will be more of a ‘contributor’, which is one of my life-size goals.
Have you done anything lately that really scared you, but after you did it, you realized you had more confidence and personal power?
And if you haven't, I immensely recommend it! The only way to get past your fear of doing something is to: Do It... Do It Now! And you will be shocked. It will be the best feeling on earth.
Here the objective is not to just break through the walls of your box but to have no box at all.
Stepping outside the box and getting uncomfortable is the only way to grow as a human being. I always admire the courageous people, who take risks and go out there in spite of them feeling scared and uncomfortable.
And not to mention that you have much wealthier experiences in your life if you do things that make you feel uncomfortable. It's such a high, so much more fun that being confined in that little box that you created for yourself.
If you want to achieve your goals, you have to stretch yourself, get out of that comfort zone, and take chances! Otherwise it ain't gonna happen.
Challenge yourself by stretching your thinking, embracing diverse ideas, and trying new things. Your world will begin to expand and your confidence will grow. Your dreams will come alive and your possibilities will be endless! It will be a powerful time!
