Out of the Walls 'Get Out of your comfort zone!'

I feel large in this room. It is my space. I feel sad when am about stepping out of it. When am alone, I can do and on do; sleep in XYZ, raise my legs, forget the prim and proper my mother taught me. I can wear any cloth and sing any song without any worries that someone is watching or listening. When I am distressed I rush to my bed and curdle with my pillows. I lie flat all naked by myself. With all the comfort I think I enjoy in my bedroom, when i step out; it's a different game. It no longer seems like the massive king size bed, on queens quarters with royals at my door step. I realize, it’s just the comfort tiny little room with shared facilities on a rented mortgaged improperly surrounded by other little rooms.

What's my point?

Check this out!

If you were to step out of the walls of your comfort zone. It is just as simple as, “Your world is very small, See bigger." If you think your world is too big to contain others. I must add at this point that it is too small to contain great others. I have a favorite proverb. I like to narrate a story or used the proverb in questioning my friends, who supposedly think, they are better than others. I ll pose the same to you. If you feel your father's farm is the largest, try visiting a couple of others. You would be surprised at how little your comfort zone is. Your world is smaller than you think, friend. You need to step out of your boundaries and expand your world. Quit thinking, me, myself & I. Quit seeing the world with your myopic eyes and see the world with the telescopic eye of God. There is more room for you outside that little comfort.
