Out of the Zone

“To go forward with strength is to have ambition.” – Lao Tzu (Te-Tao Ching)

I thought my comfort zones were clearly defined – at least they were in the forefront of my mind. I have learned, however, that there are many more layers of subtleties than I had fathomed. Fascinating how something can be wretched one day and a vital asset the next – the trick is to work through the monkey mind in a mindful manner. The m-mind is useless chatter – telling us that we can or can’t, should or should not – creating road blocks in the life that we want to lead. When I push through my comfort zones, “stuff” comes up that needs to be dealt with appropriately, but once it is gone, a world of possibility opens. We are limitless – it is our comfort zone that keeps us locked in a cage. I am grateful that I have a key.
