Quote:

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."

Neale Donald Walsch

One person who said that to me was one of the top U,S, Ski Team coaches. I used to give him passes on TWA, he used them for charity work. In exchange he would help my wife and me with our skiing when we lived in Colorado. When he worked with me he would always take me outside my comfort zone saying "if you ever accidentally found yourself going this fast down a hill this steep it's now no big deal, you've been here many times before." Couldn't that phrase also apply to violin playing?

I believe it was Teddy Roosevelt who said something similar to the effect of "Show me someone who has never made a mistake, and I will show you someone who has never lived." It is hard to quarrel with the truth of these thoughts.

Neale Donald Walsch is the man who wrote the "Conversations with God" books, and one famously plagiarized article. His life has been a rather interesting series of ups and downs (mostly downs, unfortunately).

Nice quote, all the same.
