Settle in the place you're in.
Find comfort right where you are.
Breathe in and out.
Allow your body to settle.
In your mind to find ease.
Continue breathing.
Comfort is our happy place.
The place where we know what's coming.
The path is lit and obstacles become predictable.
What if?
The moment you've been waiting for.
The dream you want fulfilled.
A milestone you seek to reach.
What if it's not on that lit path?
What if it isn't in the comfort of your routine?
What if the known won't get you where you want to be?
Ask yourself if you're okay with the feeling of unease.
Of discomfort.
Of not knowing.
Of losing control.
If the answer is no,
You aren't okay with it.
Are you okay with settling for what is?
For never reaching your highest potential.
If the answer is still no,
Then rest right here.
Continue to breathe and enjoy the comfort.
But if the answer is yes,
You're ready for your wildest dreams to come true.
Then be ready to shake it up.
Be ready to step outside of comfort.
To feel your body pulsing with nerves.
Release control.
That next step the one that can lead you there.
It may not be lit.
It's necessary sometimes to trust that the step is there.
If you move your foot.
If you have forward momentum.
No matter what you won't fall.
But you have to move.
So take a breath.
And consider what that discomfort means to you.
Who do you need to talk to?
Who have you been afraid to approach?
What plan has remained in your head that needs to be written on paper?
What prayers have you avoided because you aren't sure you want them answered?
Take a moment with those thoughts now.
As you consider them.
Breathe.
In and out.
Maybe your body has tensed up.
Your mind may be swelling.
And even your heart,
It's racing.
It's okay to breathe through that too.
Because the time is now.
Your time is here.
Take that step.
The shaky one.
And allow discomfort to be your guide.
