It's All About Change - But, But, But ... Get Off Your Butt About It!
Change means adapting, finding what doesn't work, what does work, and then applying something new to what doesn't -- maybe just to see what happens.
Change means getting out of your comfort zone, because it's a dead zone, like the dead zone of excuses. And a dead zone is a dead life.
I recently discovered just how deadly my comfort zone had become -- it was running, and thus ruining, my life, and I didn't even know it. The familiar had become a unhealthy, but known quantity that crept up on me. It was a huge dichotomy -- comfort was creating a big pain in my butt, and I had gotten so used to it being there, that I just kept sitting on it unconsciously, complaining day-after-day -- a knee jerk reaction to life's unwieldy circumstances.
Pain can be a comfort zone, just like excuses, because it becomes familiar, like a bad friend who keeps calling to complain and out of habit you answer the phone, as much as you hate the interaction.
Let the pain in your life go, it's ultimately high maintenance. Try something new or different, take a risk just of for the heck of it -- just to see what will happen -- don't take yourself too seriously. Maybe you'll be surprised. Maybe you'll get rejected. Maybe you'll find love. But whatever happens, it will be new and move you up out of your current morass, or maybe it will just move your dead ass! Whatever the case, it will be good for you either way. It will make life an adventure, and worth living once again.
Payoff? Your butt will stop hurting!
