Stepping Out of Line - Embracing the Unknown
Kim.E discusses the importance of stepping out of our comfort zone to become our authentic self. She emphasises that every step toward a different direction requires thinking differently, making new decisions, and embracing the unpredictable. The hardest part is often the fear of others' reactions and the inability to control the unknown. Despite the emotional safety that staying in a comfort zone may seem to provide, it ultimately leads to stagnation. Kim.E encourages rejecting the command to 'stay in your lane' and instead embracing change and growth.
“We become our authentic selves when we think out of line, step out of line, and dwell in the unknown.”

Embrace Your Authentic Self: Stepping Out of Line
Yes, we’ve all heard that our best life is outside of our comfort zone, but no step can be taken if we don’t choose to first think out of line. Regardless of how consciously aware or unaware we are, every step we take requires a personal decision. To take a step in a different direction requires us to think different thoughts, make different decisions, and step out of what feels normal, mundane, predictable, safe and well-known.
The first step is always the hardest, not because of the step itself, but because of the reaction we fear of those around us. More importantly, we fear our inability to control the unknown. Control-freaks and perfectionists have a great yearning for emotional safety and emotional stability. People with a comfortable or rigid mindset, will want us to stay in our comfort zones regardless of all the dramas and challenges comfort brings with it. Stepping out of line or out of the zone reflects the stagnation in those who choose to stay put. Stay in your lane is a command we should NEVER obey.
