Stretch beyond Comfort.

Think big. Stretch beyond your comfort zone. Those words can be very inspirational, but what do they really mean in relation to YOUR LIFE?  Are you living or existing? Are you settling for simply getting by or are you creating objectives that provide new perspectives and vitality for living?

Without thinking it through and allowing your reason to have unnecessary influence, answer the following question:

What would you do today if you were brave?

What came to your mind? Now, list five things that you COULD DO today to move a step closer to that which you listed above?  C'mon, you can come up with five!

Now, what would happen if you were to do those five things today?  Would you succeed or fail? Do you know? What is the evidence that suggests it is true?  What is the worst thing that could happen--if you went full out and did not succeed?  What is the best thing that could happen?  Is the benefit of possible success greater than the liability of possible failure?

Success or sabotage?  Today is the first day of the rest of your life--truly--what are you going to do with it?

Is this going to be an incredible day?  Are you willing to take the risks necessary to make it incredible?
