Comfort Zones

"Progress always involves risk. You can't progress to second base and also keep your foot on first." 

-Christie Mason

I feel like all my life I have had problems with stepping outside of my comfort zone. In my younger days, I didn't want to quit gymnastics because that's all anyone knew me for and if I quit then I didn't know what else I would do. At the end of my gymnastics-ing I HATED going to practice everyday for four hours. I HATED being there, but I was comfortable there, so it made it ok i guess? Then when I went to Baylor, I hated being there for the most part, but I was comfortable there so I didn't wanna risk going to another school. I don't understand why I stick with stuff that frustrates me like no other. I guess I really am afraid of getting out of my comfort zone. I really do want to keep my foot on first while progressing to second because I'm afraid of risk. I'm not so much afraid of being challenged, because I like a little push. I'm just afraid of trying something new and not liking it. I mean, I won't even try a new snow cone flavor because I don't want to waste a freaking $1.50 and not enjoy it. Isn't that silly? Here's to me TRYING to step outside my comfort zone from now on... it's gonna be difficult, but why should I just try to make myself be content with something that I absolutely hate? That's ridiculous! We'll see how this goes....
