Fear
Fear is the fence line on the edge of your comfort zone. The thing is, it's only electrified in our minds.
I have cows, grew up around cows, and you can train animals to recognize an electric fence. At some point, they get zapped once or twice, and then they'll never go close to that fence again. The funny thing is, you can turn off that fence, and they will still be petrified and scared.
Humans are the same way. There was some time or place in your life, at the edge of your comfort zone, where you got zapped.
Just imagine the static electricity, and somebody jolts you, and it hurts! That's what's lying on the edge of our comfort zone. But, the only place that's electrified is in your mind.
You have to choose to say, "Hey, I can get through that."
My encouragement to you today is to recognize fences and then choose to turn off the electricity. Choose to turn it off in your brain because it only exists in your brain.
Find something to do today where you fail more and get a little bit closer to the edge of your comfort zone, and realize it's not going to hurt you.
