Today’s Mandala
Beyond
“Once we accept our limits,
— Albert Einstein
we go beyond them.”
“The limits of the possible
— Arthur C. Clarke
can only be defined
by going beyond them
into the impossible.”
“You cannot expect
— Les Brown
to achieve new goals
or move beyond
your present circumstances
unless you change.”
Today’s MotD asks us to go beyond where we’ve already been, to push the envelope, to expand beyond our comfort zone. That’s where miracles happen, that’s where growth happens, that’s where new adventures await us. Our challenge becomes trusting ourselves, believing in ourselves, to go the distance. We’ve made it this far, through all kinds of ups and downs, so we have proof of knowing how to handle what comes our way.
From Cylon George on LifeHack.org (10 Ways to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone) he states: “In truth, comfort zones are not really about comfort, they are about fear. Break the chains of fear to get outside. Once you do, you will learn to enjoy the process of taking risks and growing in the process.” Some of they ways he shares are: taking baby steps, see failure as a teacher, don’t take yourself too seriously, hang out with risk takers, and focus on the fun.
“If you always put limits
— Bruce Lee
on everything you do,
physical or anything else,
it will spread into your work
and into your life.
There are no limits.
There are only plateaus,
and you must not stay there,
you must go beyond them.”
