-NEALE DONALD WASLSCH-

Hello there!
For todays 'Sunday Says' I have a very simple yet inspirational quote. I'm sure everybody has seen in before, but it's a wonderful reminder.

I know that I get stuck in my routine very easily, and I find it extremely uncomfortable to break out of it sometimes. For me, this mostly applies to social situations. I can find it very hard to step outside of my personal bubble and interact with people I don't know, or who just aren't my friends. It's important to push yourself though.

Whenever you find yourself in a situation that's out of your comfort zone, you should think "will I regret not doing this?" If the answer is yes, or even if there's a slight chance it's yes, I think you should go ahead and do it. I know it's scary and I know that every inch of your mind is going to be shivering in fear, but if you don't push yourself you're never going to do anything worth doing in life.

On the other hand, you should never push yourself (or other people) too hard. You have to learn your limits and know when to stop. Don't just think "I have to do this and this and this and step out of my comfort zone!" Doing new things and gaining courage is something that should be done slowly.

One of the most important things I can tell you if you want to try something new but are scared, is to bring a friend. If you share the experience with somebody who can support you and help you when you're feeling overwhelmed, it's better.
