So much is missed and so much of life is missed out on by not raising your hand, your voice or your platform. It doesn't have to be this way. Finding what peaks your curiosity is essential in stepping out of our comfort zones.
In Paulo Coelho’s acclaimed book The Alchemist, the young shepherd boy Santiago undertakes a quest around to traverse the world in order to find treasure and personal legend.
Ultimately as he draws to the end of his journey, he discovers his treasure was right where he started. He recognizes his trek across the world filled him with wisdom and a great deal of knowledge owing to the people he meets along the way. His journey has not been a waste of time, for he has gained much from his experience in search of his treasure.
I wish to remind you that contained within every effort, every step, and every so called failure draws you closer to your treasure — your pot of gold. Nothing is wasted. No effort has been in vain.
The experiences and emotional intelligence gained within our experiences into life becomes paramount, since it is defined by learning and inner growth, which becomes the focal point of pushing past your comfort level.
Push yourself out of your comfort zone frequently, and the stresses you impose on yourself should range from low to high (just not chronic). With repetition, you’ll prove to your body and mind that everything is just fine on the other side, if not better.
