"Disrupt The Comfort Zone"

See? More word gushing....

So, on the way home from Baltimore this afternoon, I was listening to NPR and heard a "This I Believe" segment from Brian Grazer, a very successful Hollywood producer.

Despite considerable success, such that he "could retire to the golf course tomorrow where the worst that could happen is that [his] Bloody Mary is watered-down," he still chooses every day to "disrupt his comfort zone."

He says, "Disrupting my comfort zone, bombarding myself with challenging people and situations -- this is the best way I know to keep growing" -- which is why he's a huge success, and I'm not.... ;-)

It was a great essay that gave me chill bumps in a couple of places. It's worthy of both sharing and emulating.

Check it out at NPR.org.
