"Attitute" VS "Comfort Zone"

"Attitute" VS "Comfort Zone"

This is something that Chaang has been saying to all of us; Improve on your attitude on the stunts; Get out of your comfort zone! I am just gonna talk more about it. Since all of us already know what attitude is, let's talk about comfort zone

Comfort zone is the mental place surrounded by borders in our mind where we feel secure. Even though this comfort area and its boundaries are just a state of mind that has nothing to do with reality, it plays a huge role in the progress of our development. Since the comfort zone is limited, there is not much benefit for you inside your comfort zone, but what you already are and have. Nothing new will happen until you open yourself and leave your comfort zone. Allow me to remind you that this is extremely important ESSPECIALLY for cheerleading. Think about it; what have you guys been doing that is even in your comfort zone?

As long as you still are having the same beliefs, you cannot grow and you cannot expect new things in your cheerleading career. When you change your beliefs you will change your thoughts, feelings and actions and then, and only then you can expand and grow in all aspects of your life.

Even though your background may be affecting your present situation, what really matters is not where you were born, your skin color, race, age, gender, religion, government, or even the poor environment in which you have been living for so many years, but what really matters and makes a big difference in your life is your attitude, to understand your comfort zone, how you limit yourself within it, who you are, why you behave the way you do it, and mainly where you are going.

Sadly many people don't go anywhere because they stay within their comfort zone. They accept defeat after defeat before even trying or knowing how capable or valuable they really are. These circumstances are not the cause of our actual situation but the conformism and the poverty of our thoughts and therefore the weakness of our broken spirit. Leave whatever past you have behind, get over it, and move on to become better. Your past within this comfort zone is nothing but a wasted load that you don't need to carry, at all.

Take constant action as many times as it is required and never, ever quit. As Napoleon Hill said, "a quitter never wins and a winner never quits. Defeat is never a failure; no circumstance ever is failure until it is accepted by the individual as a failure". Whatever you are thinking, you are feeling, and therefore what you feel is the way you are acting, and this action is what will determine how far you will go and how your future will be.

Nothing is impossible for an optimist attitude; everything is possible when we start blindly trusting ourselves, when we have a burning desire to succeed and a blind determination to make our dreams come true; everything is possible when we don't take a NO for an answer.

As cheerleaders, we acknowledge cheerleading as a sport. Cheerleading is for athletes. But in this community, I daresay less than half of us show it. We need to grow stronger as a team because we cannot move as long as we are not moving together. Whatever habits you have, get rid of it. If your mind can’t get rid of it, then train your body until it memorizes not to do it again. If you learn something new, burn it hard into your skull so you don’t forget it. Now is the time to move out of your comfort zone or even more injuries will to be foresee; both flyers and bases. Higher stunt levels, excessive cheer, repetitive dance, they are seriously on the way. If one wants to cope for the training, one needs to be both mentally strong and psychically tough to endure it all the way to Nationals. Remember what we are aiming for. The 2 words “National Champions” don’t come cheap. Trust me; coming from a dragon-boater. Blood, sweat and tears will indefinitely flow, but as long as we have that very aim to drive us to win, we will never crumble and we will come out strong.
