Evan Carmichael shares a personal story about posting a video of himself singing "Lean on Me" to push past his comfort zone. He urges viewers to take risks and stretch themselves, then asks you to share your own risks in the comments.
Today's One Minute Monday is take a risk. I have a challenge for you today. I want you to take a risk and step outside your comfort zone, 'cause we live in this bubble. You live in this world where everything is safe and comfortable, and you do the things that you're used to doing and that you're good at. Where if you wanna have happiness, you wanna have success, you wanna have freedom, you wanna achieve your big goals, you wanna change the world, you wanna have an impact on people, you can't stay in this little bubble. You gotta expand. And how you get there is by continually stretching your comfort zone and taking risks. Now I'm not talking about, you know, putting all your money and taking out a mortgage and launching a business, okay? You don't have to take a huge financial risk. Just do things that make you feel uncomfortable. So what I did was I released a video of me singing "Lean on Me." My sister asked on Twitter, "Somebody post a video of 'Lean on Me' for a secret project I'm doing." And I thought, you know what? I'm not a singer, but I'm gonna do this for her because it's a chance to stretch my comfort zone. And the video, you know, it wasn't great, okay? It wasn't a great video, but it's not that bad. It's not terrible. And I was super nervous making it and putting it up, but it's there, and I'm happy I did it, and I feel like I stretched. I want you to stretch yourself today. I want you to take a risk, and it could be something small. Talk to somebody, a stranger on the elevator you wouldn't normally talk to. Make that important business phone call that you need to make for your company. To help it grow. Say I'm sorry to somebody who you, you've hurt in the past and you feel guilty about. Just take a risk, step outside your comfort zone, and start to stretch yourself. When you guys do it, leave it in the comments below. I want to know what you're doing. Share it with us. I'll be your cheerleader to support you and help you get this thing going. Take your risk. Believe.
