It is always good to stay in a place where you feel comfortable. Yet, staying there too long can make you forget how to pursue your other dreams ... because you have felt too comfortable to move on.

Let us do this exercise together:

- Write down a desire you have been putting off (as you rather stay in your own comfort zone).

- List the consequences that will affect you if you don't start moving toward your desire.

* Your feeling

* What will you miss out on

* Will it affect your confidence now and in future

* Will it detract you from your present success

- List the benefits of taking actions towards your desire.

* How will this desire enhance your life

* How will it affect your confidence now and in future

* Your feeling should the actions are taken

* Will it add greater joy, freedom and aliveness in your life

* Will you be able to experience greater success and properity tha you already have

Moving away from your comfortable zone takes time and commitment. You will need to be patient.

We all ask for a wage for every good job we do in our lives. What is your wage?

Let's hear what Jessie B. Rittenhouse has to say about this:

 My Wage

I bargained with life for a penny,

And life would pay no more,

However, I begged at evening,

When I counted my scanted score.

For life is a just employer,

Who gives you what you ask,

But once you have set the wages,

Why, then you must bear the task.

I worked with a menial's hire,

Only to learn, dismayed,

That any wage that I had asked of life,

Life would have willingly paid. 

What is the wisdom of enlightenment?

He who knows not, and knows not that he

knows not - is a fool, shun him;

He who knows not, and knows that he knows 

not - is a child, teach him.

He who knows, and knows not that he

knows - is asleep, wake him.

He who knows, and knows that he

knows - is wise, follow him.

It isn't easy to quit smoking or gambling. However, it is easy to quit living. There are so many ways to quit your life. people talk about them all the time. However, remember that you have lived quite some time to quit now.

Edgar A Guest has something to share:

No One is Beat 'til He Quits

No one is beat 'til he quits,

No one is throuh til he stops,

No matter how failure hits,

No matter how often he drops,

See, a fellar's not down 'til he lies

In the dust and refuses to rise.

Fate can slam him and bang him around,

And batter his frame 'til he's sore,

But it never can say he's downed,

While he bobs up serenely for more.

See a fellar's not dead 'til he dies,

Nor beat 'til he no longer tries.

See how difficult it is to die? When you are dying, you'll think of all the good thing you live behind and you want to live again! Yes, to be alive is good!

Do you know who always wins at the end of the day? He is not someone with great power or knowledge. He is just an ordinary man, like you and I.

The Man Who Wins

The man who wins is an average man,

Not built on any particular plan;

Not blessed with any particular luck,

Just steady and earnest and full of pluck.

The man who wins is the man who works,

Who neither labour nor trouble shirks;

Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes.

The man who wins in the man who tries.

Questions you need to ask yourself today:

• Do I enjoy doing what I'm doing now?
• Am I competent in what I'm doing now?
• Can I be successful in what I'm doing now?
• Am I improving and moving forward?
• Is this constructive to my future?

You need to be very clear minded when you ask yourself these questions. Write down the answers and ponder on them.

You will know what to do next.

No matter what you do, you must be in control.

What can you control?

• Your emotions

• Your attitudes

• Your inner dialogues

• Your thoughts

• Your food intake

• Your desires

• Your motives

• Your feelings

Nobody can tell you what to do now and forever, only you can do that yourself. When you start to accept yourself as who you are, you will be able  to be in control. You will know what you want and need. You will also reject what you do not want and need at the same time!
