Carbonated Life

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.  Neale Donald Walsch

I just got this picture of flat pop versus carbonated pop.  Carbonated pop sizzles and pops and foams and goes everywhere (when we don't contain it properly!) and dances on our tongues and pleases our taste buds.  Flat pop is barely better than warm water.  It is dull, it doesn't dance, it's slightly disgusting actually.  Nothing about it is pleasing.   Our comfort zones are like flat pop.  They keep us in the safe zone.  Our comfort zones convince us not to dance, sizzle, pop.  It's too much of a risk and so we live our lives like flat pop.  But if we would just twist the top off of life and allow it to take us to places we only dared to dream about we would find ourselves living a carbonated life.  What carbonates you is going to be different than what carbonates me.  It's okay.  Just as long as we are both willing to twist the top and start to pop.
