Challenge Your Comfort Zone
We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are.

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.
