Well, Well, Well...Here We Are Again

Roughly a year ago, I was wrapping up my senior year of high school.  I was terrified of what the future held in stores for me.  Everything around me was safe and comfortable, but now I've learned something that would have probably changed my entire life in high school.  I first heard it from my former roommate's twin brother.  He heard it from somewhere else but that's irrelevant.  He said, "Life begins where your comfort zone ends."  Sure, I had been in situations that were strange and challenged my comfort zone, but I had never plunged out of it head first, hoping everything would work out.  After graduating, I worked at Philmont where I had no safety net.  So what was I to do? Tread lightly and hope I didn't fall? Desperately call back to my family and friends at home for support? Nope.  There was only one way to do it.  And that was to forget about being timid and shy and jump into every situation with everything I got.  And it worked.

Now I'm at the end of my freshman year of college and about to go back out to Philmont.  I've barely scratched the surface of what my life will include but now I know that whatever I may face and whatever lays before me, I can rise to the occasion and face it head on just by being me and not letting doubts and fears slow me down.

As comfortable as I may be, I'm not living.

And now I'm going to forget my comfort zone and attack it head on.



Sorry for the irregularity of these posts, but its been a busy couple of weeks.  I might go into detail a bit more later but don't be waiting for it.  As far as posts over the summer go, they'll be very irregular, but I'll keep y'all updated on what's going on in my HoME in New Mexico.

Until next time, good night, good luck, and God bless Ronald Reagan and the fine folks at CZ.
