I’m in a good place in my life. Great friends, close to family, great job, passing classes (At least I think. I’m trying!). I have a car. I have my own business. A roof over my head. I’m in a good place. this isn't all happiness. It's part of it. It's comfortable. I love my life right now, but I’m ready for an adventure. I’m ready to go. Sometimes we have to venture out of our comfort zone to be happy.
I live in a small town with my family. There isn’t much to do. And there really isn’t anything at risk. It’s a pleasant spot to be at. But as each day goes on and on, the more I feel like I need to do something. I want more. I don’t want to live here. I don’t want to just settle because I’m comfortable. No I’m young, and there is still so much to explore! This is why I’m doing the Disney College Program again, because it brought me out my comfort zone. It brought me out of my shell that was so cozy. And because it did, I am a better person. This is why I have started vlogging again. Because I always think I sound stupid on video, that I’m not “cool enough” but then again maybe, I was in my head. I stepped out and started to vlog more. And I have noticed improvement in each video on my presence, and people seem to like it. And I’m happier. I have even gone live on facebook just to talk about my business. The first video, I was so nervous. It wasn’t comfortable at all but I did it. Now I do them all the time. Even writing has been an adventure. I am more happy when I am always on an adventure and not settling. I don’t want to be the girl remembered in a small town or one town as just a "sweet girl." When people remember me, I want the question to be “What is she up to next?”
I used to be shy. I used to be quiet until you got to know me. And that was comfortable. I wasn’t upsetting anyone, I wasn’t being too loud or crazy. But now I love how far I have become. I have been told by people how they love how outgoing I am. And I take a step back. What? Me? Are you kidding me? But it has happened. I have come out of my cozy shell and now I’m outgoing. And it’s a great feeling. I have taken huge leaps of confidence in the past year. And I couldn’t be happier. No one can take my mind off my goals. And no one can tell me to slow down or stop. It’s go time!
Don’t just settle for less. Take a leap out of your comfort zone. Sometimes comfortable isn’t happy. It’s just stable. You only have one life, make it count. Make memories that last a lifetime. Cause after all, the only thing you lose is time. Go after what makes you happy even if it isn’t stable, or comfortable. It may be a while til it is. But if you never take the leap, how will you land? Out of your comfort zone, is where the magic happens!
