The Miracle of Discomfort
I want to encourage you to play your edge, and step outside of your box. Your limitations are nothing but an illusion. Limitation seems real to you because that is all you may know. I too have lived in the comfort of my old limitations.
Several years ago, my good friend Terry Tillman taught me a simple concept about life. While on an extended Wildnerness Experience, Terry took a stick and drew a simple circle in the sand. "The circle," he said, "represents everything that up until today you knew to be true, and it represents your level of comfort." He continued, "Everything outside of the circle represents everything that you feel is outside of your level of comfort, things that challenge your existing truth." He paused and looked each one of us in the eye. I looked at the circle and felt queasy. He said, "Let me ask you a question. Where do you think the greatest amount of learning is for you? Is it inside or outside the circle?" With his steely blue eyes, Terry looked at me and asked, "Guess where we are going to be spending most of our time in the next 10 days?" We all laughed and said, "Outside of the circle."
With a rush of energy, I felt alice in a way that I had not felt moments before. My face, my voice, and most importantly my relationship with my Self began to change in that very moment. While I was nervous, I was more excited than ever to be alive. I was becoming a miracle leader.
Miracle Leader Expansion Process
When faced with a new experience, my process for expansion is as follows:
1. An opportunity is presented to me where I may expand into doing something new or different.
2. I evaluate whether or not I am interested in participating in the experince, and I question if it is for the highest good of all those concerned.
3. Initially I feel a sense of fear, self doubt, and insecurity as to whether I will succeed or fail.
4. I realize that fear is just my comfort zone being challenged.
5. I immediately reference the times in my life where I have grown from recognizing this feeling.
6. I take action in the direction of the experience, event or opportunity.
What can you do today that will begin a process of expansion?
