I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard it said before that if you want to be successful you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to learn to be uncomfortable at times. I think there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a lot of truth in that statement.<\/p>\n
Think about it… What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s comfortable about putting yourself out there and asking for a job promotion? What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s comfortable about asking someone to use your company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s product or service? What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s comfortable about reaching out and making contact with someone you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really know that well initially? What’s comfortable about taking the first step towards learning a new skill?<\/p>\n
Not a whole lot is there?<\/p>\n
Of course this is not all bad news. For one thing if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re willing to be uncomfortable just a bit from time to time you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going to put yourself in a much better position to take advantage of a lot of the opportunities that are all around us — even if we don’t always notice them.<\/p>\n
In most cases the reason that most folks don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t achieve greater levels of success is because they either don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t recognize the opportunity in the first place, or they lack the ability to move past their self-imposed comfort zones and do the uncomfortable actions necessary to get on with finding success in their given endeavor.<\/p>\n
Keep this in mind – if you always feel comfortable it is likely that you’re not giving your success the full chance it deserves. If you are always comfortable, you may be limiting yourself in ways you may not even fully realize.<\/p>\n
Action Step:<\/strong><\/p>\n Develop the mindset to try new things – always be on the lookout for new opportunities and be willing to reach beyond what you think you are capable of and go for it. Even in a worse case scenario where it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work out, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve still gained an invaluable life experience.<\/p>\n It is through trying new things that we grow to the point where we realize that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got every resource we need inside us to live our perfect life.<\/p>\n — To your success, Josh Hinds<\/p>\n * Josh Hinds is the author of Why Perfect Timing is a Myth: Tips for Staying Inspired and Motivated Day in and Day out!<\/a> and It’s Your Life, LIVE BIG!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard it said before that if you want to be successful you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to learn to be uncomfortable at times.
