I had been staying in my comfort zone and had been avoiding the discomfort that comes with taking risks, until the day I realized something: no matter how secure a felt in the little cocoon that I have built for my self, I was living in the fear that sooner or later I was going to inevitably face all the situations that I was avoiding and then it will be the day of the truth. After realizing that, I started pushing through fear in a lot of situations. It's true It was very difficult to push through fear, but I have never regretted that because always after doing it, I was very happy
There's an excellent book on this subject called: Feel the fear and do it anyway - by Susan Jeffers. Everyone should read this book it's amazing!

As your power builds, so does your confidence, so that stretching your comfort zone becomes easier and easier, despite any fear you may be experiencing - Susan Jeffers
