Dusty The Rabbits Not So Exciting Adventure

A lesson in personal growth from the family rabbit.

We have got 3 pet Rabbits who are all very special to us, Dusty (dad), Loopy and Lulu (the kids) and as the weather here in the UK is pretty good at the moment we like them to play outside as much as possible so we built them a run in the garden. 

Nothing flashy, just 4 posts in the ground and some chicken wire around them to stop escapes, but they love it and it keeps them safe.

Now, ordinarily all 3 are happy to play and run around and eat the dandelions and clover and to lie in the sun.  However, just the other day Dusty decided that he wanted to explore and go beyond the boundaries he knew and felt comfortable in so he did what Rabbits do well he, dug his way under the wire and got out into the bushes.

Obviously, a family panic ensued once we noticed he was missing and an immediate hunt began (the usual drama of tears) .  It did not take us long to find him though because within just a few minutes he was back at the wire and he was trying his best to get back into the run.  The problem that this created was that he then got his head stuck in the wire and of course created another different trauma. These are the sort of stories that make family memories :)...

But, the point I am making with this story is that Dusty did exactly what we as people do when we venture out of our comfort zone, he felt uncomfortable

...............and he wanted back in sharpish.

Although this comfort zone may not be absolutely perfect we feel safe within it.  It provides us with boundaries that we are familiar with and when we go beyond these it creates feelings that can range from slight unease right through to sheer terror. 

How we deal with these feeling is what differentiates those who grow from those who stagnate. Those who stay with those feelings and work through them are the ones who evolve and move forwards in their lives to bigger and better.

As beings we all need to feel safe and protected but and this is a huge but.....our potential for growth is far greater when we put ourselves into that discomfort zone of being out of the comfort range. 

By making ourselves feel uncomfortable we learn so much more about ourselves as we struggle to find a new level of comfort and when we get there we find the journey there changed us.  Dusty did not understand this being a bunny, but we as humans have the capacity to understand this.

So, if you are wanting to change your life and move yourself out of your current zone you have to make that move and take action. 

You have to have persistence, faith and the will to succeed no matter what.  Providing you have these you will have the strength to move yourself through those 'different' feelings to move yourself onwards and upwards to bigger and better every time.
