Comfort Kills. Life Begins at the Edge

Growth Only Lives at the Edge

Some of the most transformative moments in my life came when I deliberately stepped out of comfort.

I took a job in Khartoum, Sudan, knowing it wasn’t safe. Rebels from Darfur seemed to attack the capital on a semi-regular basis. Most people would have stayed away, it was a country forever teetering on the brink of war, after all. But I went.

I flew into Egypt in the middle of the Arab Spring revolution to teach a Reiki class. The streets were alive with uncertainty, fear was literally tangible in the air and there was a country-wide curfew in place, but in the Reiki class, magic was unfolding!

And I still remember the first Reiki attunement I ever gave. I seriously doubted that it would work. My Reiki Masters could do it, but me? No chance. This was never going to work. So, I decided to just go ahead and bluff my way through it and hope no one noticed. But it did work, and I was amazed!

Each of these moments carried risk, discomfort, and uncertainty. But each one also expanded my world. They revealed strengths and insights I would never have discovered by staying safe.

This is the essence of The Abundant Self. Abundance doesn’t come from avoiding discomfort, it comes from meeting it fully and letting it grow you. It comes from embracing discomfort and deliberately taking chances in life.

Comfort lulls you into smallness and insignificance. Challenge wakes you up and reveals your larger self. Live life to the fullest. Every moment you play small, is a moment you can never reclaim. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and see what life will offer you.

Ask yourself this:
“Where have I settled into comfort, and what small step can I take this week that stretches me again?”

It doesn’t have to be dramatic. Sometimes the smallest stretch carries the biggest shift.
