Do you need a daily dose of inspiration? I do. Especially when it comes to doing something outside of my comfort zone.
Reading a quote in the morning helps me remember to focus on creating my day.
I thought I’d do something different this month and share eight quotes I find inspiring. See what you think!
“A comfort zone is a beautiful place – but nothing ever grows there.”
— Anonymous
“Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you’d just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting.”
— Edward Whitacre, Jr.
“In the absence of a challenge, there is comfort. In the presence of comfort, there is no change.”
— Matt LeMond
“Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort.”
— Peter McWilliams
“Coming out of your comfort zone is tough in the beginning, chaotic in the middle, and awesome in the end, because in the end, it shows you a whole new world. Make an attempt.”
— Anonymous
“If you don’t step out of your comfort zone and face your fears, the number of situations that make you uncomfortable will keep growing.”
— Theo Pistorius
“Something in human nature tempts us to stay where we’re comfortable. We try to find a plateau, a resting place, where we have comfortable stress and adequate finances. Where we have comfortable associations with people, without the intimidation of meeting new people and entering strange situations. Of course, all of us need to plateau for a time. We climb and then plateau for assimilation. But once we’ve assimilated what we’ve learned, we climb again. It’s unfortunate when we’ve done our last climb. When we have made our last climb, we are old, whether forty or eighty.”
— Fred Smith
“When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.”
— Eckhart Tolle
Spend some time this month in an UN-comfort zone! Befriend uncertainty, unknowing, and even UN-Joyinmovement. It can’t hurt, and surely can create a new relationship between you and your comfortable self!

P.S. In September I like to look back over the year. My intention is to tell stories that make a difference, while continuing to offer practical ideas for how to live better. So far 2022 has been a remarkable year for me, and I can’t wait to see what’s up next. There aren’t many jobs where you can work on what you want, impact people in a positive way, and live a good, healthy lifestyle all at the same time. I’m so lucky to have one of those jobs. As always, it is a privilege to write for you. I have said many times that I am not an expert. I don’t have all the answers. I’m just trying to become a better person, and I’m excited to share the lessons I learn along the way. Thanks for reading!
