Where the Magic Happens
scott, January 4th, 2012 I recently saw a diagram that says it all. On one end, a circle is labeled, “Your comfort zone.” On the opposite end of the illustration is another circle. Its label? “Where the magic happens.”
It’s only when we push ourselves beyond our boundaries–and outside our comfort zone–that we invite the excitement, zest and vigor that comes from new experiences and personal growth into our lives. This is the magic–and it doesn’t come from doing more of the same.
When I reflect on my own life, I know this to be true. I was terrified to spend a week in Provence this past summer. I didn’t know the language, was with a group of strangers and wasn’t sure what to expect. But it was the most amazing and delightful trip that I’ve ever had. Spending a month in Buenos Aires was even scarier. The language barrier was enormous, the poverty was overwhelming and I knew very little about the Argentinean culture. But it was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life–and something that I’ll cherish always.
