 You set your own limits

Have you heard of Bethany Hamilton? She was born and literally raised in the waters of Hawaii. As a child athlete she won several surfing contests; it only seemed too easy to wade into the waters and dodge the waves like she belonged there. One day when she was 13 and in the water; she lost her left arm and almost her life, to a vicious shark attack. A shark bit away her arm, yet it took her a mere 30 days to get back into the water, this time with one arm less, but twice the determination and manifold positive attitude! Living without an arm was uncomfortable. But living without accomplishing her dream was even more cumbersome. Today she’s a professional surfer who lives her dream and never fails to look beyond the horizon. She fails to see limits because she believes there are none. She chooses her comfort zone and it appears that she finds solace in her struggles.

What is this comfort zone?
