Make your highest purpose a reality. Sometimes it seems like that is a world far away. Everyone has days that are flat and unmotivated from time to time. No matter how energetic and focused you are, there will be some days when you’re just not feeling the vibe.
You can give your motivation a kick-start by revisiting your life’s purpose. You don’t necessarily need to do a course or an online quiz or take yourself off to motivation boot camp. In fact, you don’t need to do a bunch of things to get back on track. You just need to do one simple thing.
If you’re really in the doldrums, you need to pick yourself up and take a big step out of your comfort zone.
The Ins and Outs of Your Comfort Zone
Most people stay in their comfort zone for a perfectly good reason – it’s comfortable! It feels good to be surrounded by like-minded people who don’t challenge your view of the world.
Your comfort zone is a cosy place. Online or in the real world, your comfort zone is full of messages that reinforce the status quo. We have all heard people say it’s okay to miss your gym session or to be a couch potato. Everyone is sitting at home, eating tacos or popcorn.
Staying in your comfort cocoon is a one-way street to not taking on any challenges, not growing, not developing, or achieving. Comfort zone living encourages procrastination. When someone disagrees with you, it’s common to get defensive and retreat into a shell. We seek safety and comfort instead of rising to the challenge and moving into possibility.
The Benefits of Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone
When you decide to step outside your comfort zone, sure it might feel a little scary, but the benefits soon outweigh the fears.
You can see that trying different things will stretch you and help you become a better person. Challenges can lead to success, which can lead to you achieving things you would never have dreamed of.
And you can begin dreaming bigger and better dreams—your attitude toward success changes. Suddenly you know you can do it. You can see your deep desires becoming a reality.
Your Life’s Purpose Lies Outside Your Comfort Zone
Having more confidence in your capabilities means you can look around and see what your life’s purpose is. And guaranteed, it’s not likely to be binge-watching a Netflix program!
With one simple decision, you leave your own personal safety bubble and see the world from a different perspective. You can see how what you do in your life can help to make the world a better place. That whatever you do affects other people.
You can make a difference to yourself and the world once you step out of your comfort zone and start living with meaning and purpose. To make our highest purpose a reality, it’s important to remember that stepping out of our cocoon requires more than simply thinking about it – it requires taking action.
