~What can courage and change do for you?

“I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I couldn’t fail.
    The same four walls and busywork
         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, cars and such,
    I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
   But deep inside I kept longing for some victory of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win
        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 afraid to venture out,
        Remember that all winners at one time were filled with
       similar doubt. A step or two and words of praise can
make your dreams come true. Greet your future with a smile –
          success is there for you”
