Scott Steinberg believes that the fear associated with moving outside your comfort zone is actually very positive and can lead to personal growth through adaptation and a change of pace. He does note, however, that high levels of anxiety associated with pushing yourself outside a comfort zone need to be addressed differently and it is important to be able to differentiate between the two.

Bruce Muzik's speech is extremely honest and eye-opening. As a secret racist for over 28 years and determined to overcome it, he moved to a small African village where he was the only white person within five miles. It was because of these fears and feelings of discomfort that when faced head on, he was able to experience self-liberation.

Whether pushing yourself for personal or professional reasons, these videos offer inspiring stories and effective strategies.
