Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - September 1st

 Don’t let the comfortable keep you from your calling. – Joel Osteen

 

Act on your purpose, not on your fear. – Joel Osteen

 

You will never fulfill your purpose staying comfortable. – Joel Osteen

 

  

This year has been unique to say the least.  2020 could be called the year of uncertainty, which most people will not like.  Uncertainty is scary and most people like to remain in their safe, reliable, consistent, comfort zones.  However, surviving 2020 should teach each of us something. 

 

In John Maxwell’s book The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth: Live Them and Reach Their Full Potential, he discusses the “Law of the Rubberband”.  Rubberbands are only useful when they are stretched and we are only going to grow and develop when we are stretched.  Has the reader been stretched this year?  The author knows she has.  This situation has been uncomfortable, frustrating and depressing.  However, the author has taken the opportunity to continue to develop, grow and focus on things in her life she can control.

 

With only four (4) months left in the year, what does the reader still want to accomplish or do this year?  How can the reader stretch themselves?  Terri Savelle Foy discussed this on her podcast called “I Tried These 30-Day Challenges…here’s my results”.  The author spent time over the weekend determining what her 30-day challenges will be.  This was a great opportunity to reignite the passion in the author as she has been in a rut since her birthday due to little progress on dreams and in the middle of a pandemic her dreams seem to be going backwards.  However, taking time to analyze what she wants to see happen before her next birthday, she created new challenges for herself.  Also, she updated her vision board and it is now in her living room to remind her each day as she works why she is resilient and daily returns to push herself to accomplish her dreams.  

 

As long as you are comfortable, you are not growing. – Terri Savelle Foy

 

ACTION:  What are you challenging yourself to do for the next 30 days to push yourself out of your comfort zone to grow?
