Thought for the Day  

“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”    - Vincent van Gogh

I think we all have a tendency to stay within our comfort zone. It can be unsettling to attempt new and unknown situations. However, some of life’s greatest experiences come from stepping outside of our comfort zone and having the courage to try something new. We can accomplish anything we set our minds to, so do not limit yourself. Life offers so many incredible opportunities – we just need to have the awareness to see them and the courage to achieve them!

Today, have the courage to step outside of your comfort zone. How did it feel? What did you learn?
