REINVENT YOURSELF!!!

We all love to be comfortable. Don't we? Comfort builds up in our minds a calm life full with all the accessories of the good life. When we are in our comfort zones, we feel completely secure and are not afraid of challenges - for they don't exist. Here at the peak of familiar surroundings, we are the rulers. Everyone and anything bow before us in humble servitude and awe. We want and get what we want without much effort. We can predict what tomorrow offers  by just cutting and pasting today. In our comfort zones, nothing moves, nothing shakes. All is quiet and seemingly peaceful. No competition, no challenge, no need to exert ourselves! In a word, everything is 'cool', 'calm' and 'collected' - just the way we like it! hmmm, what an illusion!!! But we all know that life, is far from being 'cool', 'calm' and 'collected'. With the fast-changing technologies and the rat race that characterize the world today, it would be suicidal for you and I to sit as though without a care in the world. To think, even for a moment, that we can carry on with life by just 'sitting there' and doing nothing is, to say the least, a misleading notion. As the world continues to evolve with speed, we must likewise evolve by adapting new ways, technologies, techniques, styles, etc. What worked yesterday may not necessarily work today. The fact that you have in the past applied certain strategies and came up with tremendous success does not guarantee that the same strategies will yield similar results in the future. You should never be 'satisfied' with your achievements to the extent that you stop seeking ways to achieve an even better performance. The moment we become 'comfortable' and 'satisfied' with who we are and what we have, we kill the desire for improvement. However good you may be, you will always find that there are certain things you can do better. Let us learn to embrace new ideas, even when we feel like we don't measure up. When you venture into areas that others have given up on, you become unique, a pioneer! Bill Gates could have opted to get a prime job with a blue chip firm anywhere in the world. This was the comfortable and rational thing to do. Instead, he opted to pursue a dream. Today he is living that dream! He decided to venture away from the mainstream thinking and way of doing things and instead started a company that has made him who he is today. Is he now 'cool', 'calm', and 'collected'? Not by a billion dollars! He is still reinventing himself and the multi-billion-dollar-company he put together from scratch. In that we can all agree that he is really cool  and damn rich too!!! Do you want to live a full life? Then you need to extend your boundaries a little further from the 'comfortable'. And when you reach there, stretch them a little further still. In so doing, you will not only reinvent yourself, but you will also contribute to making the world a better place for all! You will also realize that you've got much more stuff in you than you thought you had. With this realization, you can now venture beyond the outer limits of 'convenience' and 'easy-go-lucky', and the God in you will arise and help you to move yet another mountain!

Good morning and best of luck out there, cheers.
