Читать книгу Achieving your dreams - Elizaveta Gurdzhi - Страница 5

Your dreams aren’t going to magically appear within your comfort zone. Instead, if you want to achieve your dreams, you’re going to leave your comfort zone behind. You’re going to traverse the vast wilderness, the vast unknown, full of scary things.

You may feel lost, and you may feel like quitting. You’ll hear your heart pounding loudly in your ears. You’ll feel the wetness of tears on your cheeks. You’ll feel your resolve weakening.

At this point, the majority of everyone who’s ever had the courage to leave their comfort zones behind, give up. They break down. They surrender to their failures. They succumb to the obstacles. They turn around to where they came from. They hide again in their comfort zones, never to resurface ever again.

The smart thing to do

The unknown abyss beyond your comfort zone is extremely tough. If you’re not mentally, emotionally, and physically ready, you’re not going to get very far before you pack up and head home.

So, how do you get from point A (that’s your comfort zone) to point B (your dreams)?

Well, the smart thing to do would be to prepare for your journey.

You can’t just wing it and expect to succeed.

It’s like going on a month-long holiday abroad without planning ahead. You only buy the tickets to your destination, but you don’t know where you’re going to be staying. You don’t know anything about the place. You don’t know the culture, the people, you basically know nothing apart from the name of the place!
