The Comfort Zone

The Comfort Zone

 

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I couldn’t fail.

The same four walls of busy work were really more like jail.

 

I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before,

But I stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.

 

I said ‘it didn’t matter’ that I wasn’t doing much.

I said I didn’t care for things like diamonds, furs and such.

 

I claimed to be so busy with the things inside my zone.

But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

 

I couldn’t let my life go by, just watching others win.

So I held my breath and stepped outside to let the change begin.

 

I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before

I kissed my comfort zone “goodbye” and closed and locked the door.

 

If you are in a comfort zone and afraid to venture out,

Remember that all winners too, were one time filled with doubt.

 

So take the step, get started, and then with joy you’ll shout:

“I’ve learned my lesson now – when in doubt I will reach out!

 

I’ll do the things I felt were hard, and make my dreams my own.

And never again will I be kept prisoner inside a comfort zone.”
