Outside my Comfort zone.
I must break out of my current comfort zone and become
Comfortable with the unfamiliar...
Sometimes you just have to say” I dont know what I’m doing,
Let’s just go and see what happens”
I have to embrace the experience itself,
So that things you didn’t intend to happen can
Make it work...and i hope that it works..
I have to keep going,
Everything gets better in no time!
“It always seems impossible until it’s done”

Perfect timing I was just sitting here worrying about my next step and feeling as if I'm procrastinating. Which I am! I love writing always have, however I feel I'm putting way to much pressure on my self. So instead of doing... I just sit here worrying!
Hi, Irene, welcome to the WA community, you've come to the right place if you want to build a successful online business. Best wishes for your future success.
MY COMFORT ZONE
I used to have a comfort zone
where I knew I wouldn't fail.
The same four walls and busywork
were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But 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 commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the 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; I 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're 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.
Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!

Wow that's terrific . Are you a professional motivation speaker!? lol because you're good. But how do you take that first step? When I was younger I took many first steps. I feel I've lost that wonderment and curiousness and lack of fear of failure. I'm stuck that mode of with age afraid if I fail, then what?
Hi, Cynthia, no, I'm not a professional motivational speaker, but like many of us at WA, have something that money cannot buy: Years of Experience. If I can use that experience, in whatever way, to help people achieve their goals, that is my motivation.
At some time in every persons life, for various reasons, self-doubt rears its ugly head, and it seems you're experiencing that at the moment. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life, a new dawn, a new beginning in which self-doubt has no part to play.
Don't even think about the word failure, strike it from your vocabulary, it's only for losers. You haven't failed, you've just learned a valuable lesson on your road to success.
Thomas Edison, who invented the electric light bulb at the 10,000th attempt, is one of the best example of the word failure. When asked by a student what it felt like to fail 9,999 to invent the electric light bulb, he replied: “Young man, I didn't fail 9,999 times to invent the electric light bulb, I discovered 9,999 times how not to invent the electric light bulb.”
Bill Cosby, the actor, also remarked that: “The desire for success has to be greater than the fear of failure.”
I can name many great people, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, the Harry Potter author J. K. Rowlings, to name a few, who were all born into poverty and faced adversity in their early life, who used that unobservable inner power that we all possess, but sadly many don't use: Motivation, the burning desire for success, the will to win.
Rekindle that spirit that you once had, it's only lying dormant just waiting for the spark to ignite. it.
IT COULDN'T BE Done
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, as he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one we know has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it
- Edgar Guest
That was great. Thank you for taking your time to reply to me! I think I'll take my coat off with a grin!
Merry Christmas!
