How long can you live outside your comfort zone?  Long enough to be OUTSTANDING?  To be outstanding, you’re going to have to be uncomfortable.  With all the hard work, persistence and tenacity that it takes to succeed, you’re going to have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.  But this is much easier said than done, isn’t it?  For me personally, this was a hard lesson to learn because I equated feeling uncomfortable with something being wrong.  It wasn’t until my late 20’s that I realized that living outside your comfort zone meant being uncomfortable.  Completely antithetical, I know.   But those are the hard lessons in life.  For those are you that are still reluctant to be uncomfortable – get over it!  The rewards are plentiful for those who dare to live outside their comforts.
