I heard this phrase some time ago and it hit home.

Despite our best efforts, there may be one area in your life in which these words make you pause for a moment and reflect. Is it that new business venture you’ve been dreaming about but haven’t launched, is it how you show up in the world, maybe a new course or career change you’d like to explore but you can’t seem to take action, a move to your dream location that you just feel your soul calling you to and you’re not sure why? I see you.

Another way to think about this question could be, “Am I living my highest potential or playing small to avoid disturbing the status quo?” And this status quo may be your own internal dialogue (ie. the comfort zone we’ve become accustomed to over the years) or it may be what we think someone else thinks and expects of us (which most of the time they probably do not) and so we live according to the projected and accepted opinions of others.

Our comfort zone is simply our subconscious mind on autopilot trying to keep us “safe” based on accepted, recorded patterns and experiences in our life that have been logged deep in our psyche. They will continue to play back until we hit the pause button to re-examine and observe from a neutral state. We can create a new avenue anytime we like, we just need to be aware of this possibility and have the presence to recognize that what we are doing is no longer what we want or aligned to the life we desire.

Is there something that comes to mind for you? If so, great! This is so empowering and it allows us the opportunity to either reflect further or take inspired action. If not, you may find just reading this question and allowing it to sit in the back of your mind for some time will ignite a thought or two later on. Be patient, what needs to reveal itself to you will come at exactly the right time.

Enjoy this moment of reflection. You can create ANYTHING you wish to experience. Have fun with it and make this life an adventure!
