Your comfort zone – abandon it!

Are you really happy or just really comfortable?

There is a difference. It seems very little to the comfortable person, but every happy person knows how huge the gap between happiness and just being comfortable actually is.

Staying in a cozy home every day, avoiding risks and therefore chances might seem like happiness to many, especially in our high-tech world.

But truth be told: You will only feel alive when you go out there and explore. Take risks, take chances, meet new people, embrace random encounters, be open towards new cultures, live with an open mind. It takes courage and strenght but it pays off and can be done step by step.

You would not want to waste your life in your comfort zone. Comfort zone is good, but who wants good, if he can have thrillingly exciting, adrenaline pumping happy? 

Go out there!

PS: Nothing against a comfy, cozy home, in fact, you should make your home the perfect hang-out place. Just don’t rest on your laurels once youre done pay attention that your home does not become you life.

Opportunities are everywhere!

Gret opportunities come to all, but many do not know they have met them. The only preparation to take advantage of them is simple fidelity to what each day brings.

Just go for it!

Everybody knows if you are too careful you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something.

Gertrude Stein

If everbody really knew this, that’d be great!

Sometimes you just have to go for it, trust me.

Obstacles?

Rocks on the Road? Store them all, one day you will build a castle.

It’s all about attitude! What is an obstacle for the pessimist is an opportunity for the optimist.

It’s not about money

Sometimes you earn more doing the jobs that pay nothing.

Todd Ruthman

Of course you need money.

But that does not mean that you should not work unless you are being paid. Often times the jobs with bad or no pay at all are  wonderful oportunities.

You can always learn a lot from work, you meet new people, exchange information, enhance your skills. Use all those opportunities!

Do not let greed stop your constant growth.

Don’t wait

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

Sun Tzu

Missing out on opportunities in order to take better ones is okay. Waiting for better ones rarely works and is slow. Because taking opportunities always creates tons of new ones.

By taking opportunities you get to know new people, new places, new jobs and you automatically reveal new interesting opportunities.

So next time instead of turning down a “not so perfect” opportunity, think about it again and just take it if you don’t have any other things on your hands.
