Comfort Zone

My husband and I teach Sunday School in our ward to the 14 and 15 year olds.  This week the lesson was on setting goals to become more self-reliant.  During the lesson, we talked about goals and how sometimes they can be hard.  I brought up something I saw on Pinterest and  has been on my mind a lot, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."  This seemed to stick with the teenagers, and I truly believe it was inspiration that the quote has been on my mind so much lately.
My husband pushes me out of my comfort zone a lot, and I could resent him for that, but it helps me grow and I know that is the only way to become more Christlike.  He pushes me to talk to people I would not normally talk to.  He pushes me to try things that I don't want to, and I usually end up liking.  I would like to say that I push him as well, but I am not sure that I do.  I need to be better about that.  A relationship is meant to help us grow, and pushing us out of our comfort zone is one way to do that.
I challenge all of you to set a goal that pushes you out of your comfort zone.  Ask your spouse, or a friend, to help push you, because sometimes it is not something we want to do on our own.  Good luck!
