I used to have a comfort zone
where I knew I wouldn't fail. 
The same four walls and busywork
were really more like jail.

I longed so much to do the things
I'd never done before, 
But stayed inside my comfort zone
and paced the same old floor. 

I said it didn't matter
that I wasn't doing much. 
I said I didn't care for things
like commission checks and such.

I claimed to be so busy
with the things inside my zone, 
But deep inside I longed
for something special of my own. 

I couldn't let my life go by
just watching others win. 
I held my breath; I stepped outside
and let the change begin. 

I took a step and with new strength
I'd never felt before, 
I kissed my comfort zone good-bye
and closed and locked the door. 

If you're in a comfort zone,
afraid to venture out, 
Remember that all winners were
at one time filled with doubt.

A step or two and words of praise
can make your dreams come true. 
Reach for your future with a smile; 
Success is there for you!
