The Art of Living Courageously
Living courageously requires us to become uncomfortable.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone or so they say. Your comfort zone is a place of reliability. A place of predictability.
But in order to grow and change and stretch, we need to get uncomfortable.
Living courageously requires us to become uncomfortable but we don’t like that. It requires us step out of our fears and out of the comfort zone into a place of courage.

Living Courageously requires us to be in the comfort zone for a period of time
The comfort zone is an area of success. A place we have journeyed to that says to us ‘This. This feels good.’
So, we must recognize how to celebrate ourselves and, at the same time, not remain comfortable for too long.

If you want change and to grow, you must be willing to tolerate some level of discomfort and imperfection as you explore areas outside of your comfort zone.
You must start living courageously.
Change feels scary and makes us feel vulnerable. We are our own harshest critics, and we don’t want to do things ‘badly’.
The challenge with getting out of the comfort zone is that many are asking you ~ or you’re asking of yourself ~ to step so far out of the comfort zone that you bypass any zone of personal growth.
