There’s an old English adage dating back to the 16th century that says:

“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

It essentially means that if we don’t engage in new experiences, we don’t gain new perspectives. And this still holds true today.

life continues to reward those who venture into the unknown.

Why?

Because they’re the ones who were willing to get uncomfortable. They’re the ones who’ve embraced discomfort and the true nature of the human experience: An always-changing, ever-evolving, growing process.

We are here, on earth, to evolve; that’s why it’s called “human evolution.”

So why aren’t you growing?

You’re not growing because you refuse to get uncomfortable. You’re not growing because you refuse to engage in new experiences. You’re stagnant, way too deep into your comfort zone. You’re not growing because every shackle clung onto your comfort (to try and ‘keep you safe’) continues to hold you back. And thus, you’ve rendered yourself incapable of change.

To go from where you are to where you want to be, you must do things you’ve never done before. You must be willing to get uncomfortable because discomfort is the only path to growth. There is no other way.

Discomfort isn’t a moment in time, it’s a passage in time. It’s a way of living—of continuously working through tension points to release their grip on you rather than shying away from the tension itself.

In short: Growth demands a new you.

The Comfort Pull
There are three tension points that keep us cemented in our comfort zones: OUR MINDSET , OVERTHINKING, FEAR and a LACK OF ACTION.

So here’s the message I want you to remember:

Discomfort in the status quo is a sign that it’s time to make a change, and discomfort demands a new version of you to show up.

Embrace it, and you will bloom. Shun it away, and you will shrink.

SO WHY NOT GO FOR IT?

Try new things. Extend yourself. Get out of your comfort zone. Be open to new ideas, surroundings, people and ways of doing things. ‎When you fall over, get up and keep moving forward. Take what you do seriously but don’t take yourself too seriously. Love what you do. And never settle for second place!

Leap, plant your feet firmly in that growth zone, and don’t look back.

But first, life is demanding a new version of you to show up. The question is, will you and How?

Study Gita, it will show you the path and will give you the courage to venture into unknown

Shri Ram was a Prince with everything in his comfort zone, he left that zone and ventured into the unknown and landed up building one of the best teams in history to date and his pain and uncomfortable life gave him the title "MARYADA PURSHOTAM"

The key application of spirituality is in remembering who we are. It's only when we forget and lose our awareness that's when our mind engages in unnecessary overthinking. #brahmakumaris

LEADERS do not OVERTHINK

Some people have a habit of overthinking everything, which often leads to a life full of fear and anxiety. If you want to live an extraordinary life, stop overthinking every little thing, especially the things you have no control over.

Everyone is free and has the liberty to think. Now it is a matter of choice whether you want to act on your thoughts or continue thinking about it without reaching a conclusion.

Thinking about an existing problem is of no use until and unless you're aiming to find a solution. Therefore, in your spare time, look for ways to enrich your problem-solving abilities. Think of ways you can prevent certain situations from arising or if you have already landed yourself in a problem, think of ways you can overcome it. If it is not in your hands, then it is not worth the mental pressure and the stress.

Some problems no matter how small they are may seem extremely troubling. However, if you learn to look at the bigger picture, you will realise, in some years, it won't even matter and for some, it will become a source of humour.

When people overthink, they lose all reasonability. They become critical of oneself and are bitter most of the time. To stop doing that, acknowledge your achievements and your successes. Practice self-love and appreciate the hard work you have put in. Rather than overthinking, pay attention to all the efforts you have put in. If it still does not work, you're not to blame.

Gita teaches us not to Overthink
