Do What You Fear Because That's How You Grow
Most people feel safe "in the box". It is a safety zone where we feel comfortable being in the box.
So many times it is fear that keeps us in the box. Fear of the unknown, fear of what could happen or even fear of who we will be if we step out of the box.
We can make up so many arguments of why we should stay in the box. The fear words spoken and thoughts inside our heads are hoarded like a favorite sweater to keep us feeling safe.
Sometimes, we can get up the false courage to step out of the box and then retreat again before we try to act upon this new found courage.
The 'ego' does such a wonderful job of protecting us that it can keep us back from doing the things we love so much.
This false courage is like taking a seed and planting it into the fertile soil, then not watering it and expecting it to grow. It's like the tree creating a bud on its branch but not sending any life force energy to the bud and it shrivels up. The caterpillar staying in its cocoon not trusting in natures process of transforming itself into the butterfly or the eagles egg not cracking from the beak of the eaglet breaking free of its shell so it can emerge.
We can learn a lot from nature's innate ability of trust in the process and adaptions in and of life. Trust being the key word.
As they say the only way out...is through...it takes courage and trust to get past the false courage.
What is holding you back today from getting out of your comfort zone "box"?
