THE COMFORT ZONE

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I couldn't fail.

The same four walls and busy work were really more like jail¹.

I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the 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 breath² and stepped outside to 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.

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!!
