About 10 years ago， I started a job as a trainer . In one of my first classes， the head trainer told a very ______ story that I would like to share with you.

He began by drawing a ______ standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting， he drew things like a house， a car， and a few friends inside the circle.

He asked the question， "Can anyone tell me what this is?" In a long silence， one guy decided to ______ his idea， "the world?" The trainer said， "That's close and this is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are ______ to you. Your home， your family， your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any ______ or conflict. "

"Can anyone tell me what happens when you step ______ this circle?" A strong silence came over the room. The same eager guy announced， "You are afraid. " ______ guy said， "You make mistakes. " The silence continued and the trainer smiled and said， "When you make mistakes， ______ can the result be?" The first guy shouted， "You ______ something. "

"Exactly， you are learning. " The trainer turned to the board and drew an arrow ______ from the man directly to the outside of the circle. He continued to say， "When you leave your Comfort Zone you put ______ out there， in front of the world to be in situations that you are not ______ with. The end result is that you have learned ______ that you did not know and you expand your knowledge to become a better person. " He turned again to the board and drew a ______ circle around the original circle， and added a few new things like more friends， a bigger house， etc.

"The moral of the story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone， you will ______ be able to expand your horizons and learn. When you step out of your Comfort Zone you will finally make your circle bigger and your mind grow stronger， and all in all a better person. "
