Get comfortable with Uncomfortable.

WARNING: This post may not be for people who are not chasing dreams, goals and exploring their potential.

We have all probably heard the great quote "Your comfort zone is comfortable, but nothing grows there.."

I see so much truth in this sentence. From leaving my family and home at 16, to then moving to Europe at 19.

It was definetly not comfortable, but I look back and am amazed at how these adventures and experiences have sculpted amazing memories and have made me the person I am today. Who and where would I be if I was to listen to that voice in my head that said "stay home" or my so called friends at the time who didn't understand my passion or drive saying "just get a trade and stay with family here".

My most recent situation is a mixture of emotions, financial and questioning pathways. If you are striving for success in a career or with your goals... you inevitably will face uncomfort and challanges... the bigger the dream, the bigger the challanges.

I spoke to close friend and mentor about my situation and I was in 2 minds - to either stay home with my family, not have many bills to pay, make good money, rest from football, recover, not struggle and be "comfotable" for a certain amount of time.. OR to continue grinding, training, working through the struggles that come on the path, work out situations and make it happen.

He gave me 2 very contructive peices of advice.. - Will you be driven and happy to "rest" for so long from your passion/dream? - Get comfortable with uncomfortable.

If you feel you are not where you want to be or doing what you want to do - Do something different! Take a risk! What is the worst that could happen? You go back to comfort?

Or can you live with the thought of that you never even tried to live your dreams..

Like I said in my warning, this is NOT for people who are content, happy and that are where they want to be. But for those of you that can relate to myself and want to achieve and become more - this is what we must imprint into our programming. As much as it is a challenge... Get comfortable with uncomfortable.

Push your limits, explore your potential and remember it will make the success & your story so much sweeter!

Affirmation: "I am comfortable with uncomfortable, no matter what the sitatuion I am growing and moving closer to my goals & dreams"

Your potential is Inifnite. Carlo.
