Living Outside Your Comfort Zone

Puffin taking a leap of faith

Pastel Puffin - On the Rocks ~artist Kristine Milewski

To never miss the opportunity.

To see what the universe Is offering.

To meet and learn from others' experiences.

Is that what living outside my comfort zone will be?

__

I looked over the rocky edge; waterbirds sitting on the sea

Is there comfort and safety where I stand?

I dare as the Puffin and live on the rocky edge.

Becoming vulnerable, curious, comfortable with change.

__

I take a leap of faith with courage, to choose outside the comfort zone.

I know that the inner guidance will lead me, keep me safe.

I come to understand the difference that in my thoughts, it seems strange,

To take the time to reach out, listen, and share.

__

Oh, If I stay in the center, surrounded by like-minds, I may be safe.

On the other hand, I may become stagnant, lifeless

Out there, I never miss the opportunity to meet and learn from You

Experience the good that the universe holds.

__

Will you join me?

Where growth and gratitude can come to life

When disappointments turn to success - joy is waiting.

Live on the outer edge of the comfort zone.
