Are You Hiding in The Comfort Zone?
For decades I have stayed away from self-help books, but now I'm powering through them like a chocolate lover goes through a box of See's. A friend recently recommended that I read the book " The Tools " by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels. I'm on Chapter 8 and I already have two or three blogs of unpacking to do! To keep this blog cleaner/simpler, all quotes, except for the song at the end, are from " The Tools ". Let's leap into the first quote, shall we? " The place you hide in, that's your comfort zone. The more you hide in the comfort zone the less you're willing to deal with reality. If you can't tolerate pain you can't be fully alive. The comfort zone is supposed to keep your life safe, but what it really does is keep your life small. " Mic drop! Stop reading for a moment and re-read that statement. It is a mind-blowing slap in the face if you allow it to be. Where do I even START with how this resonates with me?...
