Comfort Zone...

This is from a forwarded email. But the moral of this poem is what I strongly believe in...

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn’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 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 commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with things inside the zone,
But inside I logged for something special of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before,
I kissed the comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.

If you’re in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt.
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true.
Reach for your future with smile; success is there for you!

Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you just ran out of words and you go........s i l e n t???

Let me assist you in recalling...

The moment when you left your home for the first time and you look back at your parents who are worried that their son/daughter are leaving them yet happy that their child took the first step towards independence.

The moment when the girl/boy you like most… smiled back at you!
You don't say anything… you just smile back...

The moment when you get better marks than you expected... those "numb" moments of ecstasy n surprise "is that true?"...

The moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the train has just started... and you are standing on the door of the wagon, waving "bye-bye" with your heart beating fast...

The moment after the HR manager has just called you and told you,
"You are through! Congrats!"

The moment when you sit alone in your room after having told everyone that you cleared that exam you prepared for 6 months!!

I had always wondered why I never said anything to myself at those moments…as if it was "understood"...happiness, joy, pain…all feelings just flowed ceaselessly in the 'years' that passed in those flash moments!

I think.... the best way to communicate is through "silence".
Love, Joy, Grief, Surprise, Anger, Hope, Expectations, Support all can be very well communicated with Silence.

You must have had those moments when you thought you were tired enough that you reach for your bed after dinner…but find yourself wide awake looking at the roof!!!

But you sure are 'thinking'..... those moments of self-talk are the most important in our lives. Those moments when we listen to our own hearts! Those promises... those decisions... those are the moments when we make our destinies!

Next time you go silent... listen carefully to what your heart is saying... listen to its joy... listen to its pain... listen to its fears… listen to its desires…

Don't make it shut up and go off to sleep...
LISTEN TO THAT VOICE and ACCEPT EVERYTHING IT SAYS!
That voice alone can lead you to the abode of peace that your sleep lacks.............peace that awaits you!!!
