It’s all too easy to stay within one’s comfort zone. After all, it’s there for a reason; to keep us safe. Oftentimes, discomfort is our brain warning us of a potentially unsafe situation. Fear has kept humans thriving for millennia, but there’s a difference between safety and inhibition. When fear and discomfort is limiting your life and growth as a person, it’s time to take steps forward. This year has been a year of pushing myself to try new things. It’s not easy; on some days, even talking to one person is challenging. As a whole, I'm pushing myself to take risks. This includes taking challenging classes, socializing with new people, and auditioning for select ensembles. I've received mixed results, but I've found that constantly pushing and challenging myself is rewarding in itself. Along the way, I’ve become more resilient, diligent, and efficient in my work. However, this doesn't mean I've always been successful. I've dealt with failures, some more defeating than others. I'm still figuring out how to move on and accept my mistakes. Hopefully, I'll get to a point where I can look back and feel proud about what I've accomplished, both internally and externally. How do you motivate yourself to improve? How do you handle defeat? I'd love to know. Bye!
