Reflecting on Your Comfort Zone (part 4 of 4)

Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. Psalms 143:8 Today and tomorrow we will summarize drivers and comfort zones. Most people find it fairly easy to locate their comfort zone. If you are unsure, ask yourself what your perfect Saturday would look like. As in the case of drivers, no one heart focus is right or more noble than the others. All have usefulness in building God’s kingdom. Those with a people comfort zone always make others feel welcome in the group. Those with an affinity for ideas have breakthrough insights into the Scriptures. Those with a comfort zone involving things can help set up for programs and keep the physical operations of the church in order. Review the last couple week’s blogs on these topics and take time to reflect on your driver-comfort zone identity. Ask yourself the following questions: In what ways are you likely to express yourself? In what fields are you going to be the most comfortable? What settings are you likely to arrange for yourself (including home and office)? How are you likely to interact with other people? For what are you most likely to spend money? In what roles are you going to find the greatest fulfillment and satisfaction (ask yourself this for each of your life domains)? Understanding the driver/comfort zone construct of those close to you will help you to understand their behaviors (e.g., you enjoy going to a party to socialize, but you still always find your spouse in the library of the party home reading a book!). It will also help you understand your own behaviors and why people react to you in certain ways. Learn to embrace who you are and leverage your driver – comfort zone combination. Your driver/comfort zone defines who you are and how you interact with your world around you. What is your comfort zone and how is it affecting your life?
