Today it is time to step out of your comfort zone because that is where your new life awaits you in this new year on this new day. Today, it is time to take baby steps out of your comfort zone, no matter how afraid you may feel. We all tend to forget that struggle and discomfort are where all growth comes from. However somehow as adults we just don’t like to try new things because we fear failure. But despite our fear, we need to understand that failure isn’t the end of the road, it’s the beginning. We learn and gain more from failure than we do from success—and way more than if we never took the chance in the first place. Today, recognize that whether you succeed or fail at whatever you’re doing, it will be a hundred times more valuable to your growth than if you never took the chance in the first place. Either you succeed and you grow or you fail and you grow, but trying anything is better than doing nothing. Today, consciously step outside your comfort zone. Taking the first step is always the hardest, but once you do it, the only thought you’ll have in your head is “Why didn’t I do this earlier?” Every second you spend in this world is precious, and you shouldn’t waste a single second of it wondering if you should have done something. Today, Life is waiting for you to take the reigns. So grab them and remember everything you want is on the other side of fear.

Just for today, I do something different. I am willing to step out of my comfort zone and experience life in a whole new way. Each day I stretch my comfort zone a little further. When I make a mistake, I understand that it is not the end, but only part of the learning process. I am safe. It is only change. Everything in truth is always working out for my highest good. And so it is.
