I used to have a Comfort Zone
Where I knew I couldn’t fail.
The same four walls of busy work
Were really more like jail.

I longed so much to do the things
I’d never done before,
But I stayed inside my Comfort Zone
And paced the same old floor.

I claimed to be so busy
With the things inside my zone,
But deep inside I longed for
Something special of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by,
Just watching others win.
I held my breath and stepped outside
And let the change begin.

I took a step and with new strength
I’d never felt before,
I kissed my Comfort Zone ‘goodbye’
And closed and locked the door. 

If you are in a Comfort Zone,
Afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were
At one time filled with doubt. 

A step or two and words of praise,
Can make your dreams come true.
Greet your future with a smile,
Success is there for you!
