The  Pain of the Status Quo

“Not until the pain of the same is greater than the

pain of change will you embrace change.”

Dave Ramsey, American Financial Author and

Nationally Syndicated Radio Host

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

The pain of the status quo

 

It’s very easy to drift into your comfort zone . . . . it provides warmth on a challenging day and keep you dry in the storms you encounter . . . . or so it seems.

 

Your comfort zone creates a false illusion of safety from the world around you. Were in reality your comfort zone is . . . . a false belief and an exercise in limited thinking.

 

It’s not until the pain of being in your comfort exceeds the pain of stepping out of your comfort zone will you bring the changes into your life  . . . . to change the direction of your future.

 

Your comfort is a trap of limits . . . . limited thinking, limited success, limited beliefs and limited self-worth . . . . It’s not until you step of your comfort zone you see and experience your real possibilities.

 

The pain of the status quo . . . . has to exceed the pain of you stepping out of your comfort zone to make true progress in your life and career.

Lou - You are so right.  One of my favorite business books is "Who Moved My Cheese" which is a similar concept.

So right, the status quo is often very frustrating. Until we stop the status quo thinking will continue everything that is going on in Washington.

Lou, very true, it is amazing what people can do once a current situation become unbearable. Even though unfortunate, the pain of the status quo is a great motivator.
