I used to Have a Comfort Zone
10/12/2008 5:46:22 PM

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 the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed 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 my 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 a smile; success is there for you! At your service! God_bless you :) Thomas Richmond

Hi Thomas,

Thanks so much for the Delightful Poem and the Excellent Advice.  If we never take that first step, how can we ever finish the race?

This reminded me of one of my favorite Quotes...

"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction." Bessie Stanley

From what I know of you as my Friend, I would say that this describes you quite well, and if this is to be our guide, then I would also say that you my Friend, have been been quite successful indeed.

God Bless You,

Phil

Phil, my brother, how encouraging! Yes i agree you do know me, what amazing read my friend, thank you.  I love the picture, i used to walk on that street many times, under those trees, visits to friend actors houses, what a time. The words i posted was from a thought that my church leader who runs the marrieds here in northern San Diego district had put in our heads one day, and i thought how can i relate this to my work? Since February i have found my niche and with a great company that uses it. I do have various programs i run with but all on the side to improve my marketing skills, better my company and serve those in need. We all need to succeed and i guess i can do both. God_bless you, Phil.
