Without being courageous, not a lot will change. You will lead a comfortable life – safely in your comfort zone – doing what you like to do. That’s fine – if that’s what you choose. When I asked a few members of my family if they were comfortable being uncomfortable they got a look of horror on their faces and said absolutely not! My sister followed up with “That’s your M.O. – not mine. I am perfectly happy being comfortable and supporting you in your discomfort.”
Take a moment to get really honest with yourself – are you willing to be UNCOMFORTABLE to get what you want? Most of the things you dream of, that you don’t already have, are just outside that comfort zone.
Here’s to your creative success!

Tara, this is wonderful advice and a challenge to each of us to ask the question and be honest with ourselves. I want to be courageous but the lure of remaining comfortable is a chain that often keeps me bond. I would love to share your post or link back to it from my blog. Would you be okay with that? Thanks, Mark
Mark – ah yes! Comfort or courage is one that gets us all and depending on the day or circumstances, we might choose one over the other. 🙂 Feel free to share or link – it’s an important topic! Tara
Thank you so much Tara! I am working on the post now and will let you know when it goes live. Watch all the social media sites for a tag! I need to be more courageous about my art, as I suspect many of us do, so thank you for the encouragement and kick in the pants! 🙂
