If you find yourself having to be given the same information & guidance every time you are required to respond to a certain stimulus in a certain way because time and again you are unable to keep your feet on the path, you are the type of individual that needs to be driven.

Conversely, if you require that information & guidance only once because you seize the initiative at the outset, even if you require small course corrections from time to time you are the type of individual that can be relied upon by an equally competent leader.

The latter type of people are not only reliable & trustworthy, but often find themselves cultivating their own leadership capabilities and becoming leaders in their own right.

Which type are you?

 

You cannot modify, alter or control time; it is our master. What you can modify, alter and control, however, is your effort.

Naturally, time cannot be ignored; it is a very relevant factor. But without consistent directed effort, you will achieve nothing, effectively rendering meaningless whatever time you’ve spent.

So when you are working towards achieving anything in life, you are best served by focusing your energies & attention on the quality & magnitude of the effort you are directing to the task at hand, rather than paying a great deal of attention to the time it may take.

 

Assume you choose to live quietly within your Comfort Zone. You’re likely to encounter manageable challenges, and so you’ll be able to get along just fine while achieving nothing of substantive value.

But what happens if you choose to live in your Growth Zone? You invite a tremendous amount of pressure into your existence!

How so? Growth builds its own momentum, which I guarantee is significantly more powerful & rapid than any momentum you will ever experience in your Comfort Zone. In your Growth Zone any & every action you take or avoid taking is amplified and magnified tenfold.

Sounds kinda scary, eh? Well, at times it will be!

But in the immortal words of Nietzsche: What does not kill you makes you stronger. So isn’t living in your Growth Zone a worthwhile risk when you consider the terrifying alternative of just “surviving” in your Comfort Zone?

PS. Naturally, this kind of thinking is not for everyone, but if it appeals to you, make the effort, take the risk and enjoy the ride; you won’t regret it.
