Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

Blessed rising loves! How are you feeling on this beautiful Monday morning?

comment below and let me know

Well, regardless of how you're feeling, I want to shake you up a bit. Remember we said we refuse to be basic in 2021? This "1" in 2021 is a step UP! So there's no sitting in your comfort zone this year; matter of fact, EVER! I don't want you to lose out on your blessings because you want to sit back and be cozy. Last week we decided not to make any more excuses in securing what we really want. The only best natural step, is to step out of your comfort zone.

How many times do you run from assignments and responsibilities because you can't be bothered? Better yet, you tell yourself that you're not the right person for the job/task. So you sit back in your warm and fuzzy comfort zone, sipping on hot chocolate or whatever you sip on, and watch someone else bask in the blessings that were meant for you. Those excuses limiting beliefs, procrastination, and feelings of unworthiness that you keep clinging to, will forever rule you.

You want to know something? I saw a saying that said:

"Blessings often come in the form of assignment and responsibility."

Your comfort zone is your enemy! It will do you no good. Do you ever wonder why some of your eldest coworkers, your parents even, or good friends stay in a job or relationship or living space that no longer serve them? The only change in their lives is the year. Mhm. Because they get complacent. Your comfort zone is the reason why you complain so much.

You refuse to push yourself just a little harder to achieve the results that you really want. I have been there and sometimes I still find myself crawling back into that space. You see, the boss babe that I am Coco, has BIG plans. I can't allow Ashley to hamper down on her plans because she's too scared. Yes I absolutely just referred to myself in the third person and also to my alter ego 💁🏾‍♀️ problem? Oh ...

You exclaimed on December 31st, 2020, that you were going to start fresh right? I know because I heard you, because I am you. So in starting fresh, I need you embrace being uncomfortable. Your assignments won't always be easy. Sometimes God will place you on stage that you're underqualified for, to stretch you into being the "Coco" [insert your alter ego here] He wants you to be. Sis, if you don't stretch, He can't use you. You will be shying away from your big break, and those who need to see YOU on that stage (whether its a new job position, in church, hosting an event, teaching that course, offering coaching/counseling sessions, mentoring underprivileged kids, doing fitness training, teaching dance classes and the list goes on...) will suffer.

I hope I snatched your bonnet off your head real quick. That's really my aim. You don't have to be someone you're not. But you have to be the best version of you. Step out of comfort and into being uncomfortable.

That's the only way you'll grow.
