There’s a quotation: You can’t jump a chasm in two small steps’.. whenever I’ve persuaded myself to take that leap, it’s led to new places, people and fulfilled dreams.
Right now, I’m facing another opportunity to take another leap. And your article reminded me to be brave! Thank you:)

Your website is always so well written! I’m very surprised that there aren’t more comments! Onto me: I don’t have any courage. A possible theory is that my parents allow me little privacy (I’m 20), so I have to not only remain in my comfort zone, but also theirs. And they never asked me if I was uncomfortable with something and would like a slower approach. (Such as being forced to hug unknown adults) Being ripped away from a comfort zone and then belittled for feeling out of place makes it hard to escape willingly. It’s better at college, but I still can’t press it much. And there’s just so much that I haven’t experienced. My main response to the unknown is to freeze and tense up. I can’t think, speak or act. My muscles get close to cramping. I still freeze up all the time, but in the past year I’ve managed to do so many new things that I thought would make me faint. But reading this does make me feel better. I love to have conversations with my best friends where I state at the beginning, “All of this is pure honesty, I won’t filter my thoughts.” i just need to apply that to real life, now!

Whoops that was an essay. I never know when to stop talking, I’m sorry.

“The more you understand the stories, the less power they’ll have over you.” I love that. It makes such sense. The pain from the conflict from six months ago somehow decreases over time, especially in light of gained perspectives of where I was coming from and where I’m going. I hope to revisit some of those stories before the Fall picks up to all the more pursue freedom from the grip of those stories.

I so love this article Dan, I think I have had an eternal relationship with my comfort zone for the longest time. I loved the follow your fear advise especially because I tend to always ran (very fast) away from the things that scare me. Its only last year that I gathered (some) courage and started baking a thing I was so afraid to do (I don’t know why) but ended up being good at. I am really praying and hoping to join a bakery class soon God willing and hopefully this will be a gateway for me to face all the things I’ve been too afraid to do.

Thank you, am truly blessed.
