Comfort Zone.............

Do you have one? Maybe it's in the company of a best friend when you can hash out the problems of life and both give and receive love. Maybe it's in the quietness of the morning or evening by yourself when you can listen to nothing and absorb life. Maybe it's reading a Devotional or writing your thoughts in a journal. I think we all have to have comfort zones and not only have them, but use them. It is an unwinding, a mental defragging, an emotional dumping. It is a gathering of life, a tinkering of gears, a mental listing of hopes and dreams and beliefs and truths. We live in an age of constant noise, and communication through disengaged means. We see and hear as many things in an hour as our ancestors saw in a week,a month or a year. We are under constant bombardment of hustle and bustle and do this and do that and be this and be that. We are pieces of fragile material that the modern world has managed to unravel in a zigzag of haphazardness. So we eat on the run, we make decisions on the run, we absolutely let life race in the fast lane and in doing this we become so fragmented that just making a step forward is sometimes impossible because we have laid out too many paths we think we HAVE to follow at once or we will be left behind and o my, that can't happen!! Don't you know there is a plan for your life? It's not written chapter and verse for you. You can't go to your Smart Phone and find the Outline, nor open the App. You have to figure it out. You have to be willing to stop...just stop! Stop and get to know yourself. Stop and settle into your Comfort Zone and dwell. O, you say, I don't have time. Yes you do! Think about it...if you don't know yourself, then who do you know? Please, today, dig deep, weed out, think through, be the person you are meant to be. You have a comfort zone. Center yourself in it. Life is not a race, it is a deeply complex gift that should be opened in layers and softly and carefully tended. Find your comfort zone. Do it for yourself.
