31 / 365 Challenge Your Comfort Zone
We cannot become
what we want to be by remaining what we are.
Max DePree
We
evaluate our abilities based on our achievements. But achievers stretch
themselves to new heights. We wish to operate from our ‘comfort zone’. Great
achievers challenge their comfort zone and test their ability to withstand very
high tension and pressure.
You
have to come out of your comfort zone and set what is called ‘stretch goals’.
Stretch goals are targets, which are little more than you can achieve with
ease. For example, if you are reading about one hundred pages in four hours,
you should stretch to read the same in less than three hours. If you walk about
seven kilometres per day in your morning walk, try if you can do nine
kilometres.
Today,
we live in a world of opportunities and we have to produce more with less
resource in order to survive the competition.
Otherwise, we will be eliminated.
Over
this weekend, take three tasks which you are handling currently and see if you
can stretch yourself by fixing higher targets. This approach will push you out
of your comfort zone and make you to organise yourself even better.
