Setting the Bar Higher

Ask yourself: “When was the last time I challenge d myself to reach beyon d the expecte d? When was the last time I purposely chose to try something new, even though the thought of it scare d me?” Too many times we stay in our comfort zone, feeling safe an d secure doing the same things over an d over again – which, by the way, is also part of the definition of insanity: doing things over an d over again an d expecting different results. Not taking risks may keep you feeling comfortable, but before you know it you’ll realize life has gone by an d you never ha d your chance at the brass ring. So, whether you work for yourself or for an employer, start setting the bar a little higher. Life’s destination is in the journey.
