We like to set goals and in some way we’re trying to give our life a direction where to go the next year. We all set up our new years resolutions, though most people even forget about them, before the first week of January is over.

Well I want to take this opportunity to offer you something else. Ready?

Instead of trying to quit smoking or to lose that few pounds again, I want you first to examine the boundaries of your comfort zone. The boundaries might show up everywhere. You might be going to MacDonald’s and order every time that one same burger, just because it happens to be that very first burger you ate there at your first visit over 15 years ago.
One of the main reasons you don’t accomplish your goals is because you’ve not learned to push through your own boundaries yet. You might not even have recognized the boundaries that stops you from getting what you want.

So your first task is to become aware of your own boundaries.

• What are the things that pull you out of your comfort zone?
• When this happens what do you do next? Do you get angry, do you try everything to avoid it, do you feel threatened, do you feel lonely…

Even more important are the following questions:

• Where in your life is staying in your comfort zone limiting?
• What do you miss out by staying stuck into your comfort zone?

Remember that you have the choice, to break through them, and accomplish much more then you now perceive as possible. Pushing through your limits might be scaring. Though if you do it by taking small steps instead of trying to get everything right the first round, you’ll do greatly to improve your life on a consistent basis.

You might surprise yourself in what you’re capable of accomplishing the moment you learn to expand your own comfort zone. Which is a never ending story.

Be the one who creates your story. Be your own hero.
