Reach Out Side Of Your Comfort Zone

I have wanted but did not. I have known but did not. I married somebody that is completely opposite of me in that aspect. I looked up to a childhood friend that was this way. It's time for me to live outside my comfort zone.

Don't get me wrong, there have been and still are times, when I live this way. Past times have included when I played in bands, when I was a staff trainer, when worked on a team that had the same goals and in individual athletic endeavors. In my professional life I have achieved goals when I reached outside my comfort zone.

What I (at least for me) have learned is that to feel complete requires continued growth through challenging myself. Doing this has increased my comfort zone which results in growing my confidence.

Now challenge yourself.

Believe In Us

You must stay strong through the turmoil and life's challenges. Believing in us takes believing in yourself. But also believing in others. The united Us is always more powerful than just you. My wife is a believer in us. She is undeniably strong and has used this from an early age. She had to. We believe in the us as a family. Support for each other and the belief that one has the ability to take the steps to face the challenge. I see this in my family from the youngest to my oldest. As this phase of deep introspection continues, I am able to look deeper into my children's challenges and respect what they conquer. From big boy having total ACL reconstruction to the brilliance of my middle child to the struggles of my princess P. This introspection is attributed to my wife bringing in to my attention. I am finding great joy in being able to witness and participate as an us with each family member.

Believe in Use.
