OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

In the world today are so many personalities who have impacted and are still changing lives and altering situations around the globe for the better with their everyday activities, aiming to make the world a better place to live in.

In another corner of the world we find another band- a different section of people with a different sort of aim. Their daily activities carried out have given them away as people who are pleased with life circumstances, no matter how it looks(whether bad or worse) and are still hoping for a life-changing moment which they presume to be coming  “soon” , without pinning their butts down to think and also ask themselves: “what am I doing about my situation?”.

Some people today are just hoping “someone” from “somewhere” would help them “someday” to become “somebody” in life. What they have failed to come to is that, each and every individual in this world has got personal matters to deal with.

 Have you ever heard this statement: “Life is how you make it”? I believe strongly that you have. Now, how true does this sound to you? Maybe you’ve heard it and never thought about it. Life is how you make it. Do you believe it? Sure you do?

For me, it is true. Life is really how you make it. Like I said in the beginning, there are people in the world impacting into other lives with their activities. There are others who are just there, refusing to enlarge their thinking capacity, refusing to make a change with their lives – their talents, their minds and most opportunities that come their way. These people just feel okay with whatever they have and whoever they seem to be. They think neither of how to better their lives nor how to be different and extraordinary. They just love to live by the status quo. We all do hope that “one day” we would become “great people” in our world, with prominent positions, luxurious mansions, posh cars and high social class identity. Wouldn’t you also want to be great someday?  Owning houses, cars and enjoy life?

The fact is that everyone wants to be great in life, but how many are ready to stand against all odds for it? All these dreams we have of the future cannot fall like manna from heaven! We have to work for them. No matter where we may have reached in the journey of life, we have to work towards them because they would never fall like manna from heaven.

My father once said “To be an extraordinary person in life, you ought to do extraordinary things”. If you want to graduate from school with extraordinary grades, you must work towards that. If you think you need to earn more than USD$10,000 in a week or month then you’ve got to work towards it. Whether you like it or not, it will never fall from heaven (That’s the truth).

Some people in life do complain about a whole lot of matters. , some do complain of their financial matters (Are you one of them?), others about their job (Are you one of them?), others about their family, education, colleagues, boss, workplace, husband, wife, children and so many other issues. What they fail to do is think!

O yes! They fail to think of what to do, to solve their problem. They fail to ask themselves certain necessary questions to get answers to their problems, to make things better. Rather, most of them go about whining (and I hope you are not one of them), elevating their problems, making it seem like they were the only sufferers of challenges in this world.

To make changes in life, one must take a step, a bold step, to do something.

  

Some people do feel that with whatever they have or possess in life, they should be satisfied and pleased. What follows is that, they strive not for other things; they desire not for other goodies and rather remain in their comfort zone. Without hesitation I wouldn’t say that is bad, but that is the choice for lazy bones. When you stay in your comfort zone, you limit yourself. The world is fast-growing with each and every second that ticks away. Let me ask you now. What are you doing with your life? Have you already joined the queue of those waiting for “someone” from “somewhere” to come and better their life or with conviction, you want to take the load and be the trailblazer and the change-agent? I urge you to come out of your comfort zone because that’s certainly not the place for you.

Would you like to see the world changing, with all the technological advancement and you being left behind? A thousand times no! God planned a beautiful life for you but you know what, it all depends on you. God Almighty has played His role; the spotlight shines on you now. He put great treasures in you to display for the whole world to benefit from. He endowed you with talent that’s different from the ones all over the world. He is looking at you now. He is counting on you. He is expecting you to do something with all that He has given you. God is expecting you to use that idea to make a change! Don’t you stay in that comfort zone anymore. Free yourself from mediocrity! You have the power so better yourself, better your life. Make that change and influence another life for the better. 

Go out to the world and do what you are born to do. 

The world is looking straight at you.

You need to make that change. 

There is duty!
