Living outside your comfort zone
Step out of your comfort zone as often as possible.
I once worked for a kind man named Al Mouyal who taught me a lot about life and who gave me my first big break in SEO by sending me to a search engine strategies conference in 1999.
One lesson I learned from Al is to always live just a little outside my comfort zone. He said that by doing so, I would learn to consistently rise to the occasion. Al doesn’t know it but I’ve been living my life according to that principle since the day he inspired me to do so. (Many thanks Al)
I think the most interesting thing about a comfort zone is that once you step out of it, you sometimes realize just how uncomfortable it was.
Living out of your comfort zone takes practice and I still get pretty nervous every time I take a leap of faith but if that’s what it takes to live life to the fullest then so be it. Oh, and one more thing, start getting used to people telling you your nuts… it goes with the “living outside the comfort zone territory”.
Anyway… Nuts are very nutricious you know!
