Live Life Of Purpose By Leaving Comfort And Going Scared

Do you feel stuck in your comfort zone, constantly yearning for something more fulfilling in your life? Many people go through life without truly finding their purpose, simply because they are too afraid to leave their comfortable routines and embrace the unknown. However, living a life of purpose often requires taking risks and stepping outside of your comfort zone.

So how can you live a life of purpose by leaving comfort and going scared?

Understanding Your Comfort Zone

Before we dive into the concept of going scared and living a purposeful life, it's important to understand what a comfort zone is. Your comfort zone is a psychological state in which you feel safe and familiar. It's where you are in control, and everything feels secure and predictable. While this may sound appealing, staying within your comfort zone can prevent personal growth and limit your potential.

The Benefits of Leaving Your Comfort Zone

Leaving your comfort zone and going scared can be incredibly rewarding. Here are a few benefits you can experience:

1. Personal Growth: Stepping outside of your comfort zone allows you to challenge yourself and grow as an individual. It pushes you to try new things, develop new skills, and learn from your experiences.
2. Expanded Perspectives: By venturing outside of your comfort zone, you expose yourself to new people, places, and ideas. This expands your perspectives, broadens your horizons, and helps you see the world from different angles.
3. Increased Confidence: Overcoming challenges and taking risks builds confidence. Each time you step out of your comfort zone and experience success, you reinforce the belief that you are capable of achieving great things.
4. Discovering Your Purpose: Living a life of purpose often requires exploration and self-discovery. By leaving your comfort zone, you expose yourself to new opportunities and experiences that can help you uncover your true passion and purpose.

Embracing Fear And Taking Action

It's natural to feel fear when stepping outside of your comfort zone. However, it's important to acknowledge that fear and not let it hold you back. Embrace your fears as signs that you are on the right path towards personal growth and living a purposeful life.

Here are some steps you can take to embrace fear and take action:

1. Identify Your Fears: Take some time to reflect on the fears that are holding you back. Are you afraid of failure, rejection, or the unknown? Recognizing these fears is the first step towards overcoming them.
2. Challenge Your Limiting Beliefs: Many of our fears are based on limiting beliefs that hold us back. Question these beliefs and challenge their validity. Are they really true, or are they just keeping you in your comfort zone?
3. Start Small: Begin by taking small steps outside of your comfort zone. This could be trying a new hobby, attending a social event, or speaking up in a meeting. As you gradually expand your comfort zone, you will build confidence to take bigger leaps.
4. Seek Support: Surround yourself with a supportive network of friends, mentors, or coaches who can encourage you and provide guidance along your journey. Having someone to hold you accountable can make stepping outside of your comfort zone easier.
5. Celebrate Your Wins: Each time you step out of your comfort zone and overcome a fear, celebrate your achievement. Recognize that you are capable of much more than you think and use these victories as fuel to keep going.

Living a Life of Purpose

Once you've embraced fear and started taking action, you are well on your way to living a life of purpose. Here are some tips to help you stay focused and aligned with your purpose:

• Set Meaningful Goals: Define clear and specific goals that align with your passions and values. These goals will guide your actions and keep you motivated.
• Stay Mindful: Practice mindfulness to stay present and connected with your purpose. Regularly evaluate your actions and decisions, ensuring they align with your overall vision.
• Embrace Failure: Failure is a natural part of the journey towards living a purposeful life. Instead of letting failure discourage you, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, and adjust your approach.
• Give Back: Find ways to contribute to something larger than yourself. Whether it's through volunteering, mentoring, or supporting a cause you believe in, giving back adds meaning and fulfillment to your life.
• Continuously Learn and Evolve: Keep expanding your knowledge, skills, and experiences. Seek out opportunities for growth and never stop challenging yourself.

Remember, living a life of purpose is a continuous journey. It requires constantly stepping outside of your comfort zone, embracing fear, and staying committed to personal growth and self-discovery. So go ahead, leave your comfort behind, and embark on the path to a purposeful and fulfilling life!

Want to make a move but scared to leave your comfort zone? Go anyway.
 
“Jessica's perspective of global sisterhood and the power of lifting each other up in the midst of fear and scarcity is exactly what we need today. This book is both an invitation and a challenge to bravely show up for ourselves, for the people we love, and for the strangers that we will one day call family. I say, Amen!”
—Brené Brown, Ph.D., Author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Braving the Wilderness
 
In Imperfect Courage, the founder of the popular fair trade jewelry brand Noonday Collection shares her story of starting the rapid-growing business that impacts over 4,500 artisans in vulnerable communities across the globe—and invites readers on a journey of transformation, challenging them to trade their comfort zones for a life of impact and adventure.
In 2015, Inc. magazine recognized Noonday Collection as one of the fastest-growing companies in America. But years earlier, as Jessica Honegger stood at a pawn-shop counter in Austin, Texas, and handed over her grandmother's gold jewelry, her goal was much more personal: to fund the adoption of her Rwandan son, Jack, by selling artisan-made jewelry. 
 
This first step launched an unexpected side-hustle that would grow into Noonday Collection. Jessica embarked on this new journey and teamed up with her first artisan partner, Jalia, a Ugandan jewelry maker. She saw the meaningful impact Noonday brought to Jalia's community and knew it was the right move.
 
Fear crept into Jessica's heart as she realized her success, or failure, meant the same for Jalia. But refusing to let fear hinder her goals, Jessica found the necessary (if imperfect) courage she needed along the way--the courage to leave comfort and embrace a life of risk and impact.
