Extending the comfort zone helps us grow and unfortunately I feel that in the second half of 2008 I stayed mostly in my comfort zone. Everything familiar, almost nothing new, unpredictable or unmanageable. I am happy with both my personal and professional life but I also like trying new things and always improving. I don't expect that every step will be breathtaking like all the steps from the Ropes Course in 2005 ( as a volunteer in Impact program), but at least some of them should.
The last 2 weeks of vacation were great. All I did was having fun, relax, read, take walks as long as the cold weather allowed, play with my dog and sleep. 100% comfort zone. I was very happy. But I wouldn't be happy doing only that for a longer period of time.
I hope in 2009 I will walk toward the border of the comfort zone and beyond. I already have some clues. Being 'agile' and new type of database will keep me busy for a while In the mid-summer I will learn about sharing life, space and I guess it will be a tough challenge for an only child. I'll have to remember how to skate since I just bought a new pair of ice skates. And I'm sure I will have many other good surprises this year.
