Everyone says they want to grow, but what does it take to truly achieve that growth? It requires stepping out of your comfort zone. Consider the story of NBA player Rick Barry, who holds the record for the most successful free throws. He shoots underhanded, a method he found to be more effective despite the fear of being judged or laughed at.
What would it take for you to grow? While I like the comforts of home, I’ve taken part in Extreme Mission trips that pushed me beyond my limits, and it was challenging but rewarding. You don’t have to go on an Extreme Trip, but one effective strategy is setting small, achievable goals to stretch and push yourself beyond your comfort zone.
The best opportunities often lie beyond our comfort zone, so stretch, do something new, and don’t worry about what others say. The fruit is out on the limb – REACH!
