Are you allowing the walls of your comfort zone to keep you from achieving the success you desire?real estate training

You are not alone!

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail.
The same four walls and busywork where really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But 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 commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside my zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.

I couldn't let my life go by just watching others win.
I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin.
I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before,
I kissed my comfort zone good-bye and closed and locked the door.

If you're in 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.
Reach for your future with a smile;
Success is there for you!

Thought for today:
To be successful, you must eliminate doubt, embrace challenges, and reject any outside negativity and people who try to bring you down or tell you "you'll never be good enough". The fact is that you have just as much potential as anyone else in the world. Will you unleash it?

Have a successful day and a productive weekend.
