Moving Out of Our Comfort Zone to Achieve Success by Priya Deelchand

Moving Out of Our Comfort Zone to Achieve Success

By Priya Deelchand

We all want to be successful in life, yet today, very few people can truly say that they have achieved the success that they always desired. One of the main reasons why most of the successful people in the world achieved extraordinary success is because they were able to think differently, take risks and move out of their comfort zones. Most people remain unsuccessful and stay in their comfort zones because of fears, limiting beliefs, habits or simply because of laziness. In fact, our comfort zone is a place in which we feel safe and secure and where there is no sense of risk. It is made up of the known, the accepted and the expected and it can be physical, emotional, intellectual or financial.

For most people, moving out of the comfort zone can be very frightening and embarrassing. But it is certainly the single most important step we can make towards achieving peak performance in anything we do. We must take actions we have not previously taken if we expect to achieve different results than what we have been getting. Tony Robbins once said "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten."

One of the best ways to move out of our comfort zone is to face our fears and do the things we fear most. In fact, most of our fears are unnecessary and counter productive. We frighten ourselves unnecessarily about things that will never happen. Franklin D Roosevelt was right when he said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." We should face our fears and see them for what they really are. Once we face our fears, the death of fear is certain. What are fears anyway? According to psychologists, F.E.A.R is just "False Evidence Appearing Real". We should make it a habit to do something that frightens us every day. The more we push ourselves out of our comfort zone and do the things that scare us, the easier it becomes.

We can also get out of our comfort zone and achieve success by breaking our habits. Our habits determine our outcomes and our negative habits always create negative consequences that prevent us from getting the success we want. In order to become more successful, we can start by replacing our bad habits with more productive ones. Research shows that it takes only 21 days to develop a habit. According to Paul Getty, the individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires.

Another great way to get out of our comfort zone is to get rid of our self-limiting beliefs. These limiting beliefs are things we believe about ourselves that place limits on our aptitudes. Examples of self-limiting beliefs are when we think that we are not good enough to do certain things or we are not intelligent enough to succeed in life. Most of these beliefs are not true, but they make us stay in our comfort zones and play small in life. We can eliminate our limiting beliefs by becoming aware of them, identifying them and replacing them with more positive beliefs.

In order to succeed in anything, we have to break free of our comfort zone, and step into the unknown. Getting out of our comfort zone is not always easy and often requires lots of hard work, discipline and persistence. Brian Tracy once said, "Ninety to ninety-five percent of people will withdraw to the comfort zone when what they try doesn't work. Only that small percentage, five or ten percent, will continually improve themselves; they will continually push themselves out into the zone of discomfort, and these are always the highest performers in every field." We must make a commitment with ourselves to do all that it takes to overcome our fears, eliminate our limiting belief and break our bad habits to get the success that peak performers achieve.

Always Be Bigger, Better and More (shared by Priya Deelchand)

Dearest friends,

Here is a wonderful lesson I would like to share with you today.

The author is unknown.

An old Amerindian legend tells of a brave who found an eagle's
egg one day and put it in a prairie chicken's nest. The eaglet
hatched at the same time as a nestful of prairie chickens saw
the light of day, and grew up alongside them.

All his life the young eagle did exactly what prairie chickens do.
He pecked for insects and grubs in the earth. He clucked and
cackled exactly like a prairie chicken. And when he flew it was
always in a cloud of feathers and only for a few yards at most.

After all, that's how prairie chickens fly.

The years passed and the eagle grew old. One day he saw a
magnificent bird gliding high in the cloudless sky. Gracefully the
huge bird rode the air currents, hardly moving his great golden
wings.

"What a beautiful bird!" exclaimed our eagle to his prairie
chicken friends. "What is it?"

"That's an eagle, the king of birds," clucked his neighbor.
"But you better forget about it. You'll never be an eagle."

And so the eagle forgot all about the magnificent bird and
died, thinking he was a prairie chicken.

Success, have you ever thought you were less than
you could be, like the eagle who thought he was a prairie
chicken?

So dearest friends, always be bigger, better and more!

Have a great day!

Much Love,

Priya:))

Overnight Successes by Zig Ziglar (Posted by Priya Deelchand)

Several years ago Gary Spies from White Lake, Minnesota, did
an incredible thing. He sailed his ten-foot boat across the
Atlantic Ocean in just fifty-four days. Most of us can only
imagine what he endured to complete his ordeal, but suddenly
the whole world knew who he was.

What is the real story? Did he just have a good idea,
implement it, and "luck" into celebrity status?

Gary worked, planned, sacrificed, and studied for three
years to build his boat. He committed not only his money but
also 100 percent of his spare time for three solid years. He
had to chart his course and plan every detail, including
maximum use of his space and the proper food, clothing, and
water to carry.

Once the trip began, so did the danger. The most dangerous
and difficult part was fighting the violent areas of the
Atlantic Ocean. The seas often combined with a driving,
bitterly cold rain, which chilled him to the bone.

By the time he reached England... his entire body was black
and blue... it's safe to say that he sacrificed and worked
in order to receive his rewards.

Most of us are not interested in doing anything of that
nature, but it's safe to say that if we're going to
accomplish anything of significance... long hours of
planning and even more hours of had work are required. It's
also safe to say it's worth it because the effort is
temporary, but the satisfaction and rewards can be long-
lasting.

Achieve Success by Overcoming Your Self-Limiting Beliefs! by Priya Deelchand

Achieve Success by Overcoming Your Self-Limiting Beliefs!

By Priya Deelchand

Believing in yourself is the most important quality that you can develop in order to accomplish anything that you truly desire in every area of your life and become more successful. You all have unlimited potential and each one of you have the capacity to accomplish great things and be successful in life. However, most of you achieve far less than what you are capable of because of your self-doubts and self-limiting beliefs.

Self-limiting beliefs are those things you believe about yourself that place boundaries on your aptitudes and skills. These beliefs may be conscious or unconscious. Examples of self-limiting beliefs are when you think that you are not good enough to do certain things, you are not intelligent enough to succeed in your exams, you are not as good as your friends or you do not deserve the good things in life. Most of these beliefs are not true, but they make you play small in life and prevent you from expressing the creative genius that resides within you.

Jamie Paolinetti rightly said "Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless." You can accomplish absolutely anything that you want in life if you make up your mind to. In fact, absolutely nothing is impossible and there are no limits to what you can be, do or have. What is really important is what you believe about yourself and whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality. Tony Robbins once pointed out, "What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are."

The good news is that you can eliminate your self-limiting beliefs by becoming aware of them, identifying them and challenging them by replacing them with more positive beliefs. You must intentionally reject any thoughts that are limiting you in any way and you must always remember that there is nothing you cannot be, do or have. There is no one who is better or more capable than you are. We are all born with unlimited potentials, unique talents and abilities and we all deserve the very best in life. Always follow the wise advice of Thomas Carlyle "Let each become all that he was created capable of being."

Nothing in the world can stop you from becoming the great and successful person that you want to become as long as you are willing to persist long enough until you succeed. As Helen Keller said, we can do anything we want as long as we stick to it long enough. Once you are clear about the person you want to become you must develop new beliefs to become that person and you have to discipline yourself to act as if you were already that person. You will have to adopt new attitudes and qualities to become the successful person you want to become.

There are no limitations on your potential except for those that you believe you have. People who are successful have the firm belief and conviction that they can achieve anything that they truly desire. You too are a highly capable person and you equally deserve to be successful. From now on, see yourself as the best and most successful person you can be and do not accept any boundaries on your potential. Once you start believing in yourself and act in accordance with your new beliefs, you will open doors to unlimited possibilities and your future will be brighter than you ever imagined. As Mary Kay Ash said, "Do not limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve."
