When I get comfortable.....

There has been a lot of newness in my life as of late and no matter how resistant I am to change, especially for not seeing it at the moment, it always seems to change my life for the better. In my volunteer work; members of my group have asked me to step up my involvement as they think I have a lot of experience to offer and should take up more of a vocal and active role, and deep down inside I know they're right, except "I'm comfortable" where I'm at.........This upcoming Chinese New Years Lion Dance is another place I feel "comfortable"; I'd climb into the tail of the Lion, knowing what I need to know, doing what I need to do, so I'm good to go, right?.......then things changed, "I was stuck in the head position"!!!!,yikes, well, now I have to relearn a totally new dance, a new pattern, new moves and I soooo wasn't expecting this! With my employment a few of my superiors have been hinting around at me moving into more of a leadership role in certain aspects of my position with the company, but I'm resistant, because "I'm comfortable" where I am, I know the drill, I know what I need to do and I go and get it done. But, you know what, "comfortable" is BORING, when I really take a look at it, it really chokes me off from who I really want to be and where I want to go with everything I'm involved in. But if I really think about it, lying to myself and saying it's all "ok" is one thing, living the lie is another. Sometimes I wonder if  God is up in heaven, looking down and says, "Hey Moses, come here for a second, look, look down there, it's Robert, watch this",......and you get the picture. When I become "comfortable" life/work/people/my classmates/instructors get in my way and make me "uncomfortable" so I can grow, especially when I'm ready, but really don't think so. Robert.
