Weekend Quote: Uncomfortable

So much to tell you but I’m oh so tired.

I’m laying on my bed in a hostel in Toronto. 

Wait. Did I just type that?

Wow. I did and it’s true! How freakin’ cool is that?

I have been severely pushing myself out of my comfort zone this weekend. First, I got on a very tiny plane — yikes — which took me to Toronto for a conference I feel l have no business being at. I navigated a city I don’t know, checked into a hostel for the first time ever, met a blog reader for lunch, and wondered around this cocktail party for a few hours where I knew NO ONE.

Not a soul.

“You have to be uncomfortable in order to be successful, in some ways. Because if you stay in your comfort zone, you would never do the things that you need to do.” -Lights

Well, according to Lights — who happens to be a Canadian pop star — I’m doing things right. I guess only time will tell. All I know is I’ve never made progress towards any goal without experience some discomfort.

Okay, sleepy time for me. Long day of conference sessions tomorrow!
