Leaving your comfort zone?

There's a  time when you have outgrown your situation.  Some will stretch themselves and leave the comfort zone. It's a scary feeling. 

I remember I worked at a job I didn't enjoy, my elderly parent had shared that he wasn't going to always be there to support me and I felt it was time to stretch but didn't know where to begin. 

It was during a trip to California for my niece's graduation that I felt a calling to move. Sounds strange but my mantra at the time was " I look to the hills from where my strength comes and my strength comes from the Lord. ".  I said to one of my sisters I wanted to move here but  I didn't know where to begin. She said if you move here you can stay with me. Then she said let me set up an interview with my boss. Three months later I was leaving for California with 2 suitcases, place to stay ,a new job and a dream to make it. 

Over the years I have met so many people, learning from each one and constantly stretching myself with a new challenge. 

Getting outside of the comfort zone isn't a bad thing it's to get a different perspective.  Open yourself up to new opportunities.  To start a new chapter on this thing we call life. 

For those who are feeling stagnant stretch.  Get ready for a new challenge. Learn a new hobby, travel, get certification, anything that you think you can't do until you try you'll never know.
