Your Comfort Zone

To soar toward what’s possible you must leave behind what’s comfortable. (Cicely Tyson, actress)

We often hear the challenge to “get out of your comfort zone.” We may pass it off, thinking it is directed to the lazy couch potato. Most of us, however, have probably settled for the comfortable, well-known present status of things. Tyson urges us to reach for something higher, to move away from the familiar and work toward new and even more rewarding goals.

Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. (Philippians 3:13, 14)
