What the world needs most is happy mums….

Oh how I can relate to this poem. 10 wonderful but oh so frustrating years as a stay at home mum with soooo many dreams and aspirations locked away safely waiting for that day to arrive. You know, the one all mums yearn for when all of a sudden, magically you can actually fit it all in and have time left over to get on with a life of your own.

I soon realized after my youngest went to school and that magic day still didn’t arrive that it was time to ‘kiss my comfort zone goodbye’, bite the bullet and just get on with my life. And guess what? Yep, the house is messier, the ironings never done, the washing is always piled up, there’s no food in the house and too much salt in the pool (someone stop me). But, I’m happier than I’ve ever been and I can’t wait to get up each day and do it aaaall over again.

I’ve always said and truly believe…. what the world needs most is happy mums so go on, for your kids sake, just do it. Blow that comfort zone goodbye and create a life that makes YOU happy. Success is there for YOU…. just outside your comfort zone.

My Comfort Zone 

I use to have a Comfort Zone
Where I knew I couldn’t fail
The same four walls of busy work
Were really more like jail.

I longed so much to do the things    
I’d never done before,
But I stayed inside my Comfort Zone
And paced the same old floor

I claimed to be so busy
With the things inside my zone,
But deep inside I longed for
Something special of my own.

I couldn’t let my life go by,
Just watching others win.
I held my breath and stepped outside
And let the change begin.

I took a step and with new strength
I’d never felt before,
I kissed my Comfort Zone ‘goodbye’
And closed and locked the door.

If you are in a Comfort Zone,
Afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners were
At one time filled with doubt.

A step or two and words of praise,
Can make your dreams come true.
Greet your future with a smile,
Success is there for you!   

Go on, I dare you!
