Uncomfortable

Greatness lies on the outside of your comfort zone. You have to be uncomfortable to do great things. You have to step into the unfamiliar. You have to do a new thing. You have to be open- minded. You have to be uncomfortable. I know it doesn’t feel good. You are all by yourself. It’s lonely. It’s different, but it’s good.

“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”

- Neale Donald Walsch

Promotion

May is graduation season. Students are preparing for final examinations. Teachers are counting down until Summer Break. The end of the school year is coming to a close. Employers are doing performance reviews. Transition is upon us. Promotion does not come without its difficulties. It does not come without its own set of challenges. We simply do not grow in our comfort zone. We do not produce without pressure, yet we all want promotion. We want the benefits, but not the process. Have you passed your final examination? Have you overcome your challenges? Have you earned a promotion?

Outgrown

Kids outgrow shoes and clothes faster than you can buy them. People outgrow relationships. People outgrow circumstances. People outgrow things. It can be hard to navigate when you outgrow people you hold dear. It’s not like someone has hurt you or wronged you, but you are in a different place, a different mindset. If you remain, you will stunt your own growth. Unfortunately for those who have not matured, they might not see it that way, and that’s okay. You can always choose to love and support from afar. Don’t let people and relationships hinder you from where you know you belong. Accept that you’ve outgrown that relationship, but you still love the person. You are making a conscious decision to put you first.
