Beautiful Place where nothing gets done…

Have you experienced any of these?

When your colleague move out for better opportunity while you are still complaining about your current work.
When you have more ideas about the topic than the maker of the video you are watching on the youtube.
When you are dependent on your friends to drop your kids for classes.
When you see working moms at the bus stop and impulsively decide to go to work but the frantic energy vanishes in your dreary day to day chores.
When you know the ways to grow in a company but still performing the same kind of dull work
When you enviously see your friends, perform on stage while you recollect your school and college performances and appreciations..
When the world around you constantly changing and you feel stagnant.
When your neighbors visit your dream vacation place and your plan is hopelessly in your unfortunate head for 6 years.
When you read about a successful entrepreneur who started the exact business model you landscaped in your mind five years back.
When you have greater creativity and writing skills but you are reading my blog post.

Are you happy or just comfortable with the emotions you are experiencing from any of the above?

if you are happy then this post is not for you.

if you are unhappy What’s stopping you to explore any of the good things?
Highly voted answers are.
Money
No time
Family and Kids
It’s tough.
Doesn’t workout

But the actual reason is staying in “Comfort zone: A beautiful place where nothing gets done.”

The convenient place I remained for past 5 months without posting any posts.
Where dreams die, aspirations fizzle and hopes are crushed.

It is the place where we
Constantly procrastinate.
Tailoring perfection
Projecting fear into the future
Do not want to be vulnerable.

“A ship is always safe at shore, but that is not what it’s built for.” – Albert Einstein

So what we can do

1. Take baby steps – prepare your resume, enroll in driving class, volunteer for a local event, raise your hand for any dance performance
2. Rationalize and acknowledge your fear please don’t project fear into the future. The future is unknown.
3. Drop perfectionism. Ship it.
4. Discomfort, fear, anxiety – all feelings are short-lived. You faced the same when joined your first job when you became a mom when you tried your first bike. It’s OK to be scared.
5. Change your story – Each one of telling stories about us to our minds. We doubt ourselves, we overthink, we hold ourselves back and wonder if we are good enough.
6. There are wonders to explore. Have curiosity and enthusiasm.

Recently I have been to a local cultural event, where I witnessed, out of five food stalls one was owned by the team of women. They are homemakers and this was their debut for such an event. Their setup and display are nothing compared to professional setup. But I heard six comments in 30 min from people around me.

Those are.
Great initiative
Commendable they are utilizing their time effectively
Fun to see friends joining hands for the venture
We all are lazy, need to do something like this.
How is it possible?
I didn’t see their’s first else would have brought from them

The combined count of comments and appreciations is greater than their food order.

How much profit they made? What is the effort and how they are going to proceed is different story.

But they remained as an inspiration for 20 other women that day.

This is the result of 5 home makers, never tried anything new for more than 10 years teaming up to execute a fun idea.

If you want something you’ve never had, then you’ve got to do something you’ve never done

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Dedicating this post to team of courageous women. Please don’t enter into your comfort zone. Step out!!!!
