what does it take to leave your comfort zone?
Let a couple of six year olds show and tell you what it takes to leave your comfort zone and spiritually grow. In learning to ride her bike, Sara had to leave the comfort zone of our house. She had to leave behind the familiarity of her feet on the ground to get on a bike. She had to the leave the comfort of practicing in the soft grass and stretch herself to the pavement. She then so clearly tells you what ingredients are necessary for such stretching and growing:
1. Trust your Dad.
2. Practice.
3. Be brave.
What did her brother show throughout? That encouragement is also a key ingredient to growth.

That is quite possibly the sweetest, most touching video I've ever seen. "Trust your dad", ""Be brave" "Today was the day" "Totally awesome"
ReplyDelete"Keep trying. Go around the pine cones" Their little voices and earnestness had me mesmerized. "It's like I learned today, 'cause I DID!"
THANK YOU!
