This is a poem from Jan Ruhe's book "More Feet On The Street" which I think is great!
I used to have a Comfort Zone where I knew I couldn't fail.
The same four walls of busy work were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But I stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.
I said it didn't matter; that I wasn't doing much.
I said I didn't care for things like diamonds, furs and such.
I claimed to be so busy with things inside my zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.
I couldn't let my life go by, just watching others win.
I held my breath and stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,
I kissed my Comfort Zone "goodbye" and closed and locked the door!
If you are in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise, can make your dreams come true.
Greet your future with a smile, success is there for you!
