Life is a continuous journey filled with
endless future possibilities and future
accomplishments. Yet many people think life
is a destination, they achieve a certain
plateau of success in their lives and begin to
rest on their laurels. In other words they
become complacent or content which is the
foundation of mental, physical, spiritual, and
professional atrophy and stagnation. They
began to allow themselves to be stuck in a
quagmire of mediocrity and self absorption. I
have stated a few reasons why your comfort
zone can completely stifle your personal
growth, and your unlimite potential (the
problem). In this article I will offer you several viable solutions to this problem, which
you can place into practice starting today.
Be in a state of perpetual self development and life exploration. Never have the
mindset that you know, all there is to know about yourself or your fields of expertise,
there will always something new and exciting to discover. Approach life as if you
were a young child again, constantly exploring, learning, and doing. Don't be afraid
or intimidated by trial and error. Many of humanity's greatest triumphs and
achievements have occurred because of it. Don't be afraid to be a risk taker, and
remember "the greater the risk the greater the reward".
Embrace change with an open mind. It has been stated that most people resist
change. I believe the reasons are many why humans fight change. I feel the three
most prevalent ones are fear of the unknown, acceptance of the status quo or
conformity, and the fear of failure. Think back to situations or circumstances in your
life where change was needed in your life and you constantly fought against it,
whether it were personal, professional or otherwise. Finally you decided you did not
have a choice but to change, or face dire consequences you did not want or desired
if you did not change. More times than not, you emerged as a better person, and
the transformation enriched your life's experiences in some fashion or form.
Give even though you feel you've given all you had to give. In other words, when
you feel you are completely exhausted from giving do even more. Regardless if your
giving efforts are relating to your professional life, your personal life, your marriage,
or any other relationship or endeavor you deem important in your life. You will be
pleasantly surprised and impressed by your limitless potential to give and
achieve. You will grow exponentially as a human being and many others will greatly
benefit from your inexhaustible focus and tireless effort. I am sure you know some
individuals personally, or heard of people universally famous for their endless giving
and monumental achievements regardless of their age or background.
Set high standards for yourself. Continuously reach for the stars and beyond, you
owe to yourself, and others you love and cherish. Having high standards in any
progressive relationship will elicit the best in you. You talents and skills will

be amazed of what you can accomplish when once you continuously raise the bar
and upping the ante.
In summary if you want to continuously grow and live a constantly enriching life,
avoid staying in your comfort zone as if it were some type of deadly contagious
disease. Continue to be curious about what life can offer you, once you decide to
constantly develop your talents and skills. Give until you are exhausted, and then
give some more. Have an inexhaustible lust and zeal life. Set high standards, and
always continue to raise the bar for achievement.
