So I found this poem in my email as I was doing my annual cleaning and organization. I can't remember where I got it or why it was saved in my drafts. I didn't write it, but man does it really describe what I've needed to have to stick this school thing out over here. It's good advice for anyone who is tired of just 'living' or 'getting by,' but is a little afraid to take that first step and just do it. Go get your dreams...you've only got one life to live, make it something exciting! :)
I would assume it's called "Comfort Zone" but I don't even know that for sure...
"I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I couldn't fail
The same four walls and busy work were really more like jail
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before
But I stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor
I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much
I said I didn't care for things like diamonds, furs and such
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone
But deep inside I longed for something special on my own
I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win
I held my breath and stepped outside to let the change begin
I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before
I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door
If you are in a comfort zone afraid to venture out
Remember that all winners were at one time filled with doubt
A step or two and words of praise can make your dreams come true
Greet your future with a smile
Success is there for you.."
Absolutely beautiful... :)
