“We all live our lives in comfort zones, avoiding risky situations, avoiding the potential to fail. But in order to get ahead of your competition, you’ve got to go out of your comfort zone. Now your comfort zone is something that you live your whole day, you whole life in. You go to work and do what has to be done to get by. You’ve got to try to do more. Try that little new thing, that different approach. Get out of your comfort zone and see if it works. It may, it may not, but you’ll never know if you don’t try.” -Mary Lou Retton (Mary Lou ‘Loo’ Retton (born 1968))

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 a better life 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.
     Greet your future with a smile; success is there for you!
