Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

Hi all, Yesterday I asked you what topics you would like me to address, a good friend suggested writing about stepping out of ones comfort zone. So here goes, Last night I was watching Dancing With The Stars (DWTS), In this show, a male or female professional ballroom dancer is paired up with a female or male actor respectively. This year the youngest star. Bindi Irwin, the daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter. Steve Irwin. is 15, The oldest star is celebrity chef Paula Deen. who is 68, Former contestants have been astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniack, Also wounded Iraqi war veteran, Noah Galloway. who lost one arm and one leg. Jose Renee “JR” Martinez. who suffered severe burns while serving in Iraq and double amputee Olympic snowboarding champion, Amy Purdy, JR won his season of DWTS, Noah Galloway wanted people to know that he is more than a guy without an arm and a leg; and Amy Purdy thinks that the only disability is the one in your mind, All these dancers have one thing in common, They stepped outside their comfort zone and did something completely different from what they were used to doing. On a trip to Cancun a couple of years ago, I stepped out of my comfort zone. I don’t know how to swim, But I wore a life jacket and jumped into a sink hole 30 feet deep, I was not sure if I could find the courage to do so. I did have a life jacket, but when I jumped, it almost came off, Anyway, after I jumped, I felt free, terrified, but free. So my friends, step out of your comfort zone and do something different that makes you uncomfortable.
