Stepping Off.

Goldfinch60

Each day we live our life

Knowing what to expect,

Our lives are always the same.

We know what to expect from others

And what is to be expected from ourselves.

Our life never changes,

Our life is comfortable,

Our life can be boring.

But what if?

What if you step out of the norm?

What happens?

Well your life begins,

Life changes,

Changes for the better

When you step off the end,

Step off the end of your comfort zone.

    Goldfinch, you said it so well: think outside of the box, the box that is your comfort zone! While life within our expectations is comfortable, there are times when we would like to experience something a little bit more exciting. And you expressed that thought perfectly!

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Fred, many time I have stepped outside the box and have yet to be disappointed.

      I even try and write poetry!

        And even that you succeed at Goldie. Great write here.

        I'm afraid comfort zones become more appealing as you get older but still that bit of excitement and apprehension when I do - good work Andy.

        • Goldfinch60

          So true Michael but life can be so surprising when you do. Thank you.

        • WL Schuett

          I try to stay outside my own comfort zone as that produces the best art and the worst but that’s ok also I don’t mind failing if you can learn something from it , good poem

          • Goldfinch60

            Very true, outside can give the best and worst, but the bad gives us the experience to create the best. Thank you for your fine comment.

          • myself and me

            That is a step require huge courage. Nice poem.

            • Goldfinch60

              It may well do but it is worth it. Thank you m and m.

              Since I've never really known a 'comfort zone', living outside the box has come naturally for me. Yes, it has created many of the changes your fine poem alludes to.
              Thought-provoking write, Goldie!

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Louis.

                Good write. I do tend to do some things 'for ever'!
                A corny joke (groan!): The last thing a guy heard me say was :' Hey don't stand too close to the edge of that cliffffffffffff.......'! (LOL).

                Fine piece of advice my friend - stepping out of our comfort zone will be sure to bring about changes in life-style - an interesting read.

                • Goldfinch60

                  It sure does Fay and those changes can be glorious..

                  Great message. We all seem to be held back by fear and the what-ifs. Sometimes a leap of faith will be just what we need.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you lg, that leap can be so wonderful.

                  • poetboy123
