You have your shot to make madness this month, not because of a basketball bracket. (Because you know the upsets that have already occurred. North Carolina taking out #1 Baylor Bears in overtime.)

But truly because you are talented and gifted. The problem is your habit couch. You want to stay where you know. Those throw pillows are ever so comfortable. And you don’t have to throw them far when they get in the way. Plus, you can’t forget the soft, crushed velveteen blanket. Oh, how it feels so smooth on your chin as you snuggle in for an unexpected nap.

However, if you’re honest, what you know seems more fun.

• You don’t have to overwork your mind.
• You don’t have to change your schedule.
• You don’t have to quit what you are already doing.
• You already know what’s expected, so not many surprises.
• You know what you know, so why fret or worry.

Then why do you keep longing for something more or different, at least with a different pattern than the habit couch you’re sitting on?

Maybe you should consider looking at where comfort leads you. Are you stuck in a rut on the habit couch? Are you staying clear of what feels weird or makes you scratch your head?

But if you are feeling a nudge deeper than the overarching fear that consumes you, go beyond where comfort leads you and look for a new comfort level.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Go beyond and look for a new comfort level!

Boundaries are good, but they can hold you back.

With measurements that stay the same, your results will more consistent, good or bad.

So don’t allow yourself to get trapped in your knowledge, but more so in your actions.

Go beyond where comfort leads.

1. GO HIGH – Be careful of keeping your dreams too attainable. Push yourself to reach the stars. It’s a journey of a lifetime.
2. GO LOW – Don’t take for granted your talents and gifts. Be willing to incorporate those with what you don’t know.
3. GO, GO, GO  – Turn up the horsepower. It’s time to rev those engines and get movin’!

CHALLENGE: Where do you start?

From right where you sit! The habit couch can be transformed. But you must willing to commit to make a change to take a chance on who to believe in…YOU!!!

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
