A New Year it is, everyone including me loves to be comfortable.

Comfort in our minds gives us a feeling of a good life. When we are in our comfort zones, we feel completely secure and are not afraid of anything, even challenges don’t exist.

Like our environment, assuming we rule in an environment or in charge of an empire, everyone and anything bow before us in humble servitude and respect. We want and get what we want without much effort.

In our Comfort Zones nothing moves, nothing shakes. All is quite and seemingly peaceful. No competition, no challenge, no need to exert ourselves! In my own word everything is ‘cool’, ‘calm’ and ‘collected’ – just the way we like it!

But we all know that life, especially if you want to make progress, is far from being cool, calm and collected. With the fast-changing technologies and the competition in the world today, it would be suicidal for us to sit on our past achievements as though you don’t care. To think, even for a moment, that we can sustain or make progress in 2014 by just ‘sitting there’ looking into our to do list and crossing our legs and expect it to ran around by itself is just a fallacy.

As business techniques continue to evolve with speed and the world changing with speed to the extent of us asking ourselves where the world is going, you and I must likewise evolve by adapting new positive attitude, technologies, techniques, styles, skills, etc.

What worked yesterday may not necessarily work today. The fact that you have in 2013 used some certain strategies with tremendous success does not guarantee that the same strategies will yield similar results in 2014. You should never be ‘satisfied’ with your achievements to the extent that you stop seeking ways to achieve an even better performance.

The moment we become ‘comfortable’ and ‘satisfied’ with who we are and what we have, we kill the desire for improvement. However good you may be, you will always find that there are certain things you can do better.

Let us learn to break up our fallow ground. When you venture into areas that others have given a wide berth, you become unique, a pioneer!

Do you want to live a full life? Extend your boundaries a little further from the ‘comfortable’. And when you reach there, stretch them a little further still. In so doing, you will not only reinvent yourself and your business , but you will also contribute to making the world a better place for all!

In so doing you will also realize that you’ve got much more in you than you thought you had. With this realization, you can now venture beyond the outer limits of ‘convenience’ and ‘easy-go-lucky’, and the God in you will a rise and help you to move yet another mountain!

To the possibilities in our lives.
I see a beautiful 2014.
