Zoo Tiger/ Jungle Tiger
"We love the comfort inside the cage. We shy away from the random and unknown in favor of the easy and the safe. We love doing things that we’re already good at and absolutely HATE the things that we’re not. We live like zoo tigers and then expect to survive in the wild."
"In order to grow, in order to learn we HAVE to get out of the cage. We have to get out of our developmental comfort zones and into the wild. This means trying new things, working on your weaknesses, finding a better job, and speaking up in class.
We have to go dance with the fear, make mistakes, and learn to survive in the jungle.
What is your comfort zone? What is the developmental cage that you’ve put yourself in? Why are you still there? Why not get out and head for the wild!?"
