LIFE BEGINS OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Posted on August 23, 2015 Updated on August 23, 2015

Are you leading a “WHAT IF” life? Afraid of this, afraid of that?… leaving your “comfort zone? ” Remember, there are no boundaries nor limitations standing in the way of the dreams, goals and aspirations you seek, but those you have placed before you. Make every moment of your life something to be proud of, accountable and worth living. And although no one can change their past, we can definitely make a huge difference, start new and rewrite a new ending. But, before that start begins, we must stop the things that are holding you back from a more content, fulfilling and satisfying way of life. … Be whoever you want to be in this lifetime, it doesn’t matter. But stop lying to yourself. Happiness is an invaluable commodity … stop trying to buy it … we have to somehow find it, it may be hidden right around the corner, stop looking for happiness in others. You have to find happiness in yourself first, only then can you share that happiness with someone else, You have to be thankful for who you are and what you have been blessed with. Stop being afraid of trying new things just because you’re afraid of making a mistake and failing. We all make mistakes, that’s how we’re made. But being afraid of making a mistake ends up leaving you adventure-less and fun deprived. Doing something new and making mistakes is much better than doing nothing. People will often look down on you, just to bring you down to their level, but lowering your standards for someone insignificant can’t be the right thing to do ever. You’re a good human being and nobody can ever change that until and unless you choose to. Stop focusing on getting into a relationship. Relationships are a beautiful, wonderful thing with the “right” person, but finding a relationship to get through a bad time in your life is wrong. Get into the “right” relationship when it’s meant to be, not when you want it to be. Stop finding flaws in any new relationship because of a horrible past experience. If you weren’t treated with respect in your previous relationship, the new person in your life is not to be blamed and should not be blamed. So, stop looking for problems in your new relationship because it may turn out to be just the experience you’ve been searching for..Stop missing out on the beauty of small moments. Don’t overlook the beauty of some moments in your life. You’re amazing just the way you are and you need to stop pretending to be someone you’re not. You don’t need to change for people to like you or for that matter, love you. So…be yourself. It’s a competitive world but if you don’t stop competing against anyone and everyone, you’ll have less time to focus on what you are doing. It’s not important who has the bigger home, the fanciest car, the designer clothes and shoes what matters most is how you are as a caring, compassionate and kind person that is growing each and everyday. Stop holding grudges, be forgiving, never be bitter or resentful, it’s a waste of time & effort and serves no one. Be the bigger person – don’t carry around so much hate & anger in your heart, instead forgive the person who has done you wrong because the circumstances nor the person is worth wasting your precious time or feelings on. Move forward and don’t let things from the past ruin the happiness of your present. Jealousy takes you nowhere, so stop being jealous of what others are doing. Being a perfectionist is great but silly most of the times, stop trying to be one. We as human beings are not perfect nor are we expected to be only God is perfect. Acting like everything’s fine won’t make everything fine so stop hiding it, do something about it. You can’t be happy always in life, nobody is. It’s okay to have a bad day but it’s not okay to hide your feelings, cry, grieve if you need to, but take out all the frustration & sadness from your life and wait for good things to come. Take responsibility for your own words & actions, stop blaming others for YOUR problems. Nobody has the power to control your life, only you do. If you go on blaming others for all your troubles, that just means you’re running away from your own responsibilities and that will always keep you one step away from taking charge of your own life because it’s yours and yours alone. Stop doing the same things over & over again.There’s so much to see, do and be apart of. Stop wasting your time explaining to others, just do what feels right for you. Start loving yourself more and stop suppressing your needs. It’s okay to fall in love, in fact it’s the best thing in the world, but losing yourself in the process is not very smart and you won’t ever be able to forgive yourself. You have needs and you may have a passion too – never give those up just because you have other priorities now. It’s good to care for other people but do not forget that you’re special too and nobody can take care of that more than you yourself. Stop sitting idle because an empty mind is the devil’s workshop. Don’t end up sitting idle for too long because you’ll create problems that you didn’t even know existed. Be productive, act efficiently and effectively. You need to stop holding on to your past, it’s over, it’s gone. Don’t be a pessimist, stop being ungrateful in life. Problems come and go but you shine in the dark when you face them head on, so stop running from them. It’s not the easiest path you choose and you are definitely not the only person who’s facing issues in life. But only those people who do not turn their backs to their problems and take up the risk of walking on that path, are the ones who are successful because this is exactly that defines their personality in the future. And therefore, it’s worth the time, effort. We all have made mistakes in life but the smart thing to do is – stop regretting what wrong you did in the past, it’s history now. Stop giving up on opportunities just because you ‘think’ you’re not ready. Stepping out of your comfort zone is difficult but all great opportunities call to do just that. So, be prepared even if you have to really push yourself – push yourself harder and get ready to face great challenges. Stop focussing on things you don’t want, just because you’re scared they’ll happen. Positive thinking is the key to the success you seek.Wake up each morning and imagine wonderful things happening to you and they will happen, trust me. Believe in the path you’re on because you are deserving and worth so much more. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA
