It’s natural to want to avoid difficult situations, stay in our comfort zone and stick with the status quo. New things are challenging and it feels easier to turn away from them. Sometimes though there is nowhere to turn. By learning to accept the situations that are in front of us, without judgement, we can begin to confront them, stepping outside our comfort zones and taking a new direction.
