There's such an ease in staying in our comfort zone. There's such an ease in doing the things that are normal and just going day after day. But that's not where joy and life are to be found… My encouragement for everybody would be to just pick at least one thing that is a little bit out of your comfort zone, that is a broadening and expanding of yourself. – Tommy Thompson
