"There is always room for progress and new learnings."

What is your usual response whenever you encounter something new or far from what you were used to, in your life?

May it be in emotional, physical, social, spiritual, and other aspects.

Well, there's a big possibility that some of us would give in, some would resist and some would just tend to ignore it. Whatever we choose, rest assured that it brings a big impact to our lives.

Human as we are, would always and obviously choose security than any other things. We make sure that we are position in a safe and secure place and as much as possible, we won't try to leave that area.

However, life is unpredictable and the world is constantly changing just like how significant it is, to step out from our comfort zones to obtain the growth that we are looking for, in every aspect of our lives.

Stepping out from our comfort zones isn't a piece of cake. Not everyone are brave enough to do it and that's understandable. It's normal for a person to defend himself from any harm or discomfort. And to attain that, we often box ourselves in the four corner room without trying to open the door or have a peak on the window.

But just like a butterfly, we have to evolve and change for our betterment. And it is only attainable when we allow ourselves to step out from our fence.

You can never grow in a place where you are comfortable. Growth requires sacrificing our comfort. Just like, you can never create a diamond without pressure.

And whether we like it or not, time will come in our lives when we have to outgrow from the things that we used to be, in order to be the person that we want to be.

I know, new things are scary. We are uncertain if the path that we are taking are leading us to grow or not. However, we have to remind ourselves that as long as we never stop striving, nothing is impossible and we will eventually get there.

Often times, new environment will somehow make us feel incapable and not good enough. Well, that's normal since our mind and body are still adjusting. No one becomes a master of something in an instant. You have to start from the scratch and create your own trail. Everyone needs to go through the beginner's stage before they reach the peak of their success.

If you want to be successful in something, you have to learn the cruciality of unlearning things to make room for new learnings. You have to know the significance of discipline because you will not be motivated everyday.

You have to pay attention to the process and not just the goal. Goal serves as our direction, but process will lead us to progress. And most of all, you have to remind yourselves, that nothing is instant.

Sometimes, you have to start small and watch the atomic habits, create a remarkable result as time passes by.

Always bear in your mind that..

" Greater things takes time and genuine commitment. "

Do not be too harsh with yourself if you are having a hard time getting that job, award or whatever it is that you are giving your full attention and energy into. There is always room for progress and new learning, you just have to accept the reality that no matter how good you are in something, you still have to start from the bottom.
