There was a catalysts about 8 weeks ago in my life that has begun to expand my Comfort Box, and its done so very acutely and with amazing speed.  I may expound on this in a later post, but not now.  I’ve met people in the last 8 weeks that I know I would not have otherwise… since the “epiphany” I like to call it.  It turns out those people know other people, whom I’ve met and have been able to spend time with.  I’ve expanded my horizons in thought, forgiveness, servitude, business and awareness.  And so therefore my Comfort Box has grown… and I haven’t found a negative aspect of it yet.
