While I've been doing this blogging challenge, I often scroll through my photos, looking for inspiration for posts. This is a sketch my life coach drew for me while encouraging me to step outside my comfort zone and try something new. This happened back in February when I was contemplating doing something "scary". It was a way of looking at things that I hadn't considered before and it has inspired me many times since then to "put myself out there". About two months ago, I was texting with a friend who was about to embark on a new journey. She talked about how she was excited yet nervous because she didn't like to step out of her comfort zone. I immediately thought of this sketch and scrambled to dig through my notebooks and find it. I took this picture and texted it to her. She loved it and she appreciated knowing that I deal with similar feelings. I came across the picture today and decided to share it because I'm sure there are people out there who could use the inspiration! I think we often get caught up in our own lives and the battles we fight, and we forget that there are other people close to us who are dealing with something similar.
Thanks for writing up and sharing! You are so right. We can get caught up easily in our own issues and forget there are others who do understand.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder! Photos are the best inspirations for you website and blog. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteA friend posted a similar sketch not long ago which showed two circles. One entitled "comfort zone" and the other entitled "where the magic happens". I was very inspired and promised myself that I'd endeavor to spend more time in the second one, and am, in fact, embarking on a huge, new adventure as we speak. I alternately experience euphoria, trepidation, excitement, doubt, certainty and a plethora of other emotions, but the one thing I do know is that it is right and it is good!
ReplyDeleteYou're right in saying that a lot of people out there are going through the same things and that we can be each others' encouragement simply by sharing.
Stopping by from UBC. I absolutely LOVE this graphic! Perfect! I will share this with others for sure! YOU are the magic. See it, be it! http://pennymcdanielspiritualguidance.blogspot.com
