About this Quote

This quote by Peter McWilliams talks to the idea that when we are not living our dreams, we are permitting our convenience zone to have more control over us than we have more than ourselves. This means that when we are not taking threats and pressing ourselves to pursue our dreams, we are allowing our convenience zone to dictate our lives. We are permitting our worry of the unidentified and our worry of failure to keep us from taking the essential steps to accomplish our goals. This quote is a pointer that we need to take control of our lives and push ourselves to pursue our dreams, even if it implies stepping beyond our comfort zone. Just then can we genuinely live our lives to the max.
