Celebrate your wins, especially if it’s a win out of your comfort zone! 3 ½ years ago I decided to create this podcast and it was completely out of my comfort zone. I didn’t let my feelings operate more than what my standards were and now, we have now officially surpassed the 100th episode! We always need someone around us that inspires us - that’s what kept me going on this podcast journey…Who are the people around you that are pushing you outside of your comfort zone? Don’t settle for average! Push yourself outside of your comfort zone to the point of where you want to quit, you want to say no, you wonder if it’s possible: then take that chance to overcome it! “I believe the force of average in all of our lives, every day, throughout our day, is working against us and is actually the enemy. It’s not someone down the street, it’s not some arbitrary thing that we make up. It’s truly the force of average pulling us in to be lazy, complacent, not doing what we know we need to do, letting our feelings operate more than what our standards are.” - Brian Covey Learn more about your ad choices.
