There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long range risks and costs of comfortable inaction. – John F. Kennedy

What’s the cost of your inaction today? How long will we stay in our comfort zone, essentially fooling self? Time for some self-examination and truth telling!

Here are some ways in which we might be selling ourselves short:

• Not expressing love because we feel shy or lazy.
• Not saying yes to an opportunity because we’re afraid.
• Saying yes to too much work because work is our comfort zone!
• Being lazy about our health because staying healthy can be hard work.

Notice that a ‘comfort zone’ comes in many varieties, let’s be aware of them, and assert our will, for what is truly good for us.
