The only thing we got inborn could be described as permanent ability to learn and improve. Unlike any other creatures, we don’t now anything when born – and unlike any other creatures, we have ability to learn everything.

Mastering new skills, completing tasks, facing the challenges, constant improvement, giving the new order to things – those are the milestones of fullfilled life…

… and then there is also so called “Comfort zone”, where none of them happens.

Even in fairy tales, heroes must fearlessly face the challenges in order to achieve something – very often beyond their initial capablities. These stories are good examples of positive approach to life and illustration of how achiever’s mindset brings results.

Why we tell these educational stories to our children on one hand and very often do not show the same approach in real life on the other hand? Why we buy in this “safe path” dimmed relfection of humanity, self-sentenced to vegetate in comfort zone?

Because we are afraid. We are afraid because we are not present. In presence, there is no fear, there is only now, our beings expressed by focused present action. Fear is never related to presence and is never related to real things or situations. That’s why fear is not important for real achievers and represents no real limitation…

… that’s also why other people choose to vegetate in comfort zone being safe from their fears. Those people are voluntary victims of misleading phantasm that prevents them from living their lives now. That’s why they are not happy.

I believe we can master the skill of creating the happiness and cultivate it like anything else. And like all the other skills – what we do not practice, fades out.

I invite you to utilize two essential tools – willpower and discipline. the more we use them, the easier we can enter what I call “Challenge zone”.

Challenge zone is where the permanent growth happens. Here our abilities are challenged, our limits revealed and proven to be not important. Challenge zone is where we shine. This is the real “now” and only here happiness is intrinsic.

Any kind of sport or movement is perfect demonstration of this principle, because movement can occur only NOW!

It brings synergy, that’s what I wanted to share.
