I know I’ve spent a lot of time discussing changing things about your life that you’ve grown comfortable with. When you decide to actively pursue your dreams you have to do something many of us struggle with. You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.
What does that mean?
It means that being uncomfortable will become a fact of life as you continue to follow your dreams and push your limits. Once you reach a place where you are comfortable with the changes you’ll be making, you will need to step outside of your comfort zone again.
The thing about pushing your limits and following your dreams is that it is an ongoing process. Human beings are adaptable. When we try something new, it is uncomfortable initially but as time passes it becomes more comfortable. This often happens before we’ve truly reached our goals.
If you want to follow your dreams and actively pursue your calling, you must be prepared to keep expanding your comfort zone.
Personal growth happens outside of your comfort zone.
So in order to continue to pursue your dreams, you must make the decision to be comfortable with discomfort. As soon as you decide that you are ok with discomfort, you will be able to step outside of your comfort zone much easier.
This doesn’t mean you won’t feel discomfort. It just means that you won’t react negatively to it every time. You’ll be prepared for it and better able to handle it.
I can speak from experience. This isn’t an easy thing to do but it’s extremely necessary. Pursuing your calling or life’s purpose is a long term endeavor. The journey to a successful life is a marathon, not a sprint. You need to be in it for the long haul. This means that you should be prepared to set goals, reach those goals and push past your comfort zone lots of times over the course of your life.
The best way to get comfortable being uncomfortable is to do it in stages. While there are some people who can jump into the freezing cold pool and adjust to the temperature in one fell swoop, others prefer to dip their feet in slowly. I’m going to give you the slow approach but if you’re the type to jump right in, I encourage you to do that as well.
