Out of My Comfort Zone

The whole month my friends have been continuously asking me to come ice glide with them. I had denied them several times, because I mat up up very unstable going on a imprint friction surface on metal skates and was almost sure I would fall flat on my face. Public skate bothered me even more because I knew there would be several battalion there watching me, and potentially choketing in the track of my skating. When the group decided to each get bring out of our comfort zones, I realized I should go with my friends this weekend, even though I felt very uncomfortable.Upon putting my skates on, I wasnt sure what I was doing, and it took me a couple minutes to ultimately shade out onto the ice. I held on to the railing for a long time, and my friend told me that was no way to learn something new, and that I should go in head first without being scared of failure. I felt ridiculous for caring so much, and let go and started skating around. I came to realize it was extremely id entical to roller skating, and started enjoying it. When small children or fast skaters came by me, I was still a bit uneasy and would stop or slow down, but I realized it wasnt as bad as I made it.Having everyone support me and show me tricks to go faster or make turns was very encouraging. I realized there were actually very galore(postnominal) beginners during public skate that were going even pokey than me. I didnt feel so alone and realized I shouldnt have chickened out for so long. My main fears were being out of control, that I would fail, or be embarrassed. Sometimes these things would pop up a bit, but in the end the experience gave me motivation to try new things and to wipe out-of-door the fear. Its hard to grow and learn without taking risks, so I was proud I did it.To many it may have seemed like a small situation, but for me personally it was a bold step. pickings small bold travel may lead me to take larger more uncomfortable steps to get ahead. I realized that ve ry few of the decisions or actions that you take are life or death. If you look at challenges through that lens it becomes much easier to step out of your comfort zone. As a concluding thought, I feel that if people dont challenge themselves, chances are they will be drifting. If you want to be known as a leader, you need to be the first one to step outside of the box.
