One thing I have great difficulty with is just stepping out of my comfort zone. It’s just not something that comes naturally to me. I’m pretty straight-laced, and if an opportunity comes along to do something a little different, well…I’m just not quick to jump on board. I’m thinking, “No thanks. Don’t want to risk it.”
I’ll be the first to admit that this isn’t always the best response. But whether I error on the side of caution or danger, there is balance to be had. I need to work against whichever tendency that wants to dominate my being. When it comes to getting to know new people, I really have to force my way outside of myself in order to make a connection with them. This can take a bit of courage. But what if you really worked hard at it? As Matt Damon said in the movie We Bought a Zoo, “Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just literally 20 seconds of embarrassing bravery, and I promise you something great will come of it.” Great words of wisdom. If we were to really take those words to heart, I would wager it could be the difference-maker in our lives. Because, really, those times in life that require courage aren’t generally for long stretches. So, 20 seconds should about do it.

The thing about comfort zones is that, in order to get out of them, you’re going to have to take a risk. You might have to take the chance at looking stupid just for the sake of not living a cloistered life. As Harry told Cole Trickle in the movie Days of Thunder, “Loose is fast, and on the edge you’re out of control.” You tell ’em Harry. What that sage advice from the all-knowing crew chief means is that you can loosen up the rear end of the car to go faster, but it means that you’re more likely to lose control of the car. And the tighter you are, the more control you have, but you’re going to be slower. But you’re not going to win many races with a slow car, are you? In that case, is loose such a bad thing? So, I say, “Let’s win some races. Loosen up a bit.”
What is with me and movie quotes today? Yikes. I need to read a book. Anyway, sometimes you gain insight from the strangest places. Having courage and being open to new experiences are the areas where we really start to engage, where we start to enjoy life, and where we become more than we thought possible. Put simply, ‘on the edge’ is where we’re really starting to live life. When we’re pushing outside of our own boundaries, we’re allowing room for mistakes, yes, but we’re also allowing room for great opportunities to happen. We might end up looking ridiculous. But what’s the real risk? Maybe the real risk happens when we’re not willing to risk anything.
