The only impossible journey, is the one which you never start. You have to take that first step! And then you have to keep taking steps even if they’re really small, in fact it is SUPER helpful to surrender to the idea that they’ll all be baby steps.
All journeys are constantly changing. Some days you’ll be flying down the highway with the wind in your hair and your foot firmly planted on the accelerator. And other days you’ll have to pull over to the side of the road and stop just so you can breathe, just rest for a while.
Some roads are straight and clear for miles, but some parts of the journey are so misty and unclear that you can only see a foot ahead of you and that’s OK, just take that one step, and then the next tiny step, and then the next…
Learn to love yourself, learn to catch yourself, learn to hold the scared parts of you until they feel safe. But then remember – and this will never change – the way you will grow and build the life you deserve will only come from stepping up and stepping out of your comfort zone.
Be willing to fail! You have learned that you can catch yourself. You have learned that you can fail and still love yourself. You have learned that you can fail and still trust yourself. You are safe to fail… because you can trust that you’ll get back on the road and take the next step again.
“Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.” – Jack Canfield
“One way to kill an opportunity is to avoid taking it.” – Jack Canfield
“If we are not a little bit uncomfortable every day, we’re not growing. All the good stuff is outside our comfort zone.” – Jack Canfield
“Persistence is probably the single most common quality of high achievers. They simply refuse to give up. The longer you hang in there, the greater the chance that something will happen in your favour. No matter how hard it seems, the longer you persist the more likely your success.” – Jack Canfield
“You and you alone are responsible for taking actions to create the life of your dreams. Nobody else can (or will) do it for you.” – Jack Canfield
Today’s journey explores the science of what happens in our bodies while we meditate with particular attention given to the brain science of stepping out of our comfort zones – why experiencing pressure is essential for growth and how we can set ourselves up for success.
Empower yourself with these affirmations:
- “The only impossible journey is the one I never start.“
- “Every step, no matter how small, brings me closer to my goals.”
- “Failure is not a destination; it’s a temporary detour on the road to success.”
- “I am capable of overcoming challenges and embracing growth.”
- “I choose to step out of my comfort zone and create the life I desire.”
So take that first step, no matter how small it may seem. When the path is unclear, it’s ok to take even smaller steps. Trust in yourself, believe in your abilities, and never give up on your dreams. Remember, you are the architect of your own destiny. No one else can create your life for you. It’s up to you to take the necessary actions, to step out of your comfort zone, and to embrace the journey, regardless of its challenges.
Have a beautiful day beautiful people!
