Can You Move Beyond Your Comfort Zone?

Our world is evolving. There is an ever-changing way of thinking. Unfortunately it is easy to get comfortable with what we already know. But if we never leave our comfort zone, how will we keep up?

Sure, go out and do an activity your not 100% about. For some (like myself) that may include sky diving/bungee jumping or even being social when you're feeling awkward. But can you shift your way of thinking? 

Every day technology is advancing. 
The way we perceive things is changing. 
The way we view things can spark an idea. 

From inventing to painting to writing something into existence. They are all new. They are all a risk. They could all fail. 

But they can also lead to more: 
innovation, creativity, inspiration. 

It is better to be a thinker. 
To be outside the box. 
To think differently. 

You can't always make something 'new' but you can challenge what's already there. Fairytales are being re-written and modified - changed into something unique - and they challenge us to see beyond 'happily ever after'. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been re-told with new characters and different worlds over decades. 

Apple sought an opportunity with the iPhone. After determining what people needed, they developed a product to make life simple. Emailing, texting, calling, music and additional apps were conveniently available on one device with a touch screen. 

See the threshold of your comfort zone and take that step beyond. Don't accept what is available to you. See what it could be. Challenge it and move forward.

If you don't leave your comfort zone, you're already behind.
