That just sounds awful! Why would I want to do that?
Comfort.
What a seductive word.
When we are stressed we may search out “comfort food.”
Change could makes us long for our “comfort zone.”
It’s the poison apple that sabotages our magical dreams.
We may not have a prince charming to wake us up.
Perhaps we should avoid the apple.
How do we know we are choosing the apple?
Think of a time when....
You had a dream and you were actively pursuing it.
The going got rough and you were pushed out of your comfort zone.
You had to make a split second decision at some point to keep on pushing, or let go of your vision and go back to what you know.
When you retreat, you take a bite of that bitter poison apple. You think it tastes sweet, but that’s because you don’t know any better. You've never tasted anything else.
What if you DIDN’T take a bite?
Same dream...same choice...different decision. No apples for you!
You start to hear your pulse racing in your ears. Your skin glistens with sweat.
Though terror stricken, you GO for it!
Your body and mind scream NOOOO!!!!
You are passing through the “terror barrier!”
Yes, you could fail.
So you fail. What is the WORST that can happen?
Will you still survive? (I hope the answer is “yes.”)
Pushing through the terror barrier you discover a whole new world!
You are free! No longer are you held captive by your fear!
Dreams so passionately pursued are brought to life.
