“It is one thing to read the Scriptures and affirm their truth. But until you are in the trenches of trial, until you are faced with life circumstances that test your faith, until you are pressed to the absolute limit of your physical and emotional capacity, until you face the unrelenting stress of ongoing trauma, you never really know how you'll respond to what you may have embraced so easily during a comfortable Bible study.” KnowsMayFacesKnow HowStudyOne ThingEmotionalCircumstancesLimitsComfortableCapacityTestsStressAbsolutesTraumaScriptureTrialsOngoingBible StudyTrenchesUnrelenting Author:Kevin Malarkey
“In this country we're unprecedentedly safe, comfortable, and well fed, with more and better venues for stimulation. And yet if you were asked, 'Is this a happy or unhappy country?' you'd check the 'unhappy' box.

“I write songs on a course of time that's comfortable for me. I would probably never write a song from start to finish in the course of a day, hell probably not even a week.

“It seemed like so much of romantic relationships today have to do when the people are not in the same room. Whether it's texting or emailing or Facebooking, there's a kind of distance between the participants. I think it's sort of shifted the energy of that first romantic meeting, where it's quicker, perhaps more desperate, more energetic, in a whole different way, and it's resulted in a situation where people seem to be sometimes more comfortable having a sexual relationship than an emotional one.” PeopleThinkingWayFirstsKindDifferentSometimesWholeSeemsTodayEnergyRoomsSituationEmotionalComfortableDistanceMeetingsDifferent WaysDesperateEnergeticParticipantsTextingRomantic Relationship Author:Ivan Reitman
“Determination and persistence are melded together. Their basis comes from people who stay hungry and don`t allow themselves to get too comfortable. Entering a comfort zone is the fastest way to kill your drive and determination, at which point you begin to accept whatever you have as being "good enough." There is no self-esteem in accepting the status quo. There are tremendous emotional and psychological rewards that come with pushing yourself to break through past limits and, in the process, creating something of value for yourself and others.” PeopleWaySelfEnoughTogetherPastValuesProcessAcceptingBreakSelf EsteemEmotionalComfortLimitsComfortableCreatingDeterminationBasesRewardsBe GoodHungryEsteemPsychologicalPersistenceZonePushingGood EnoughComfort ZoneEnteringStatus QuoBreak ThroughPush YourselfCreating SomethingDetermination And PersistenceDrive And DeterminationBeing Good Enough Author:Tony Robbins
“In personal conversations between director and actor, the male directors that I've worked with are just as emotional.

“Dreams, in their essence, include risk. This risk could be physical danger (often true in climbing big mountains like Everest), or it could be financial (leaving a comfortable job and pouring your life savings into a business venture), or it could be emotional (like the feelings of loss and questioning that comes with losing friends and coworkers to climbing accidents).” FeelingsDreamBigsJobsLossRiskDangerEmotionalMountainComfortableLosingEssenceLeavingFinancialAccidentsSavingClimbingQuestioningVentureSavingsPouringEverestCoworkerLife SavingLosing Friends Author:Adrian Ballinger
