<p>We normally interact and hang out with people whom we are comfortable with. They inhabit our <em>'Safe Harbor of the Known</em>'.</p>
<p>Outside our comfort zone, there will be people who inspire, intrigue us, and annoy us. <em>When you jump out of our comfort zone to be with people who challenge, push, and even irritate us, then we grow and reach our fullest potential.</em></p>

<p>Okay, this one might challenge/provoke and even irritate you a bit (if so, I've done my job). Because we grow through ideas (and experiences) that stretch us. And all I want to do is help you grow (into your greatness).</p>
<p>And speaking of being stretched, the idea for today centers on the importance of surrounding yourself with people who cause you to leave the SHK: Safe Harbor of The Known. Why spend time with people at work who play small? Why have friends in your personal life who resign themselves to being ordinary. We do become our conversations. We really will become our associations.</p>
<p>So invite people into your professional and personal life who inspire you. Who are outrageously committed to world-class. Or who see the world through a different set of eyes than you. Who challenge you. And push you. And even irritate you (a little). So that you grow. And reach. And dream.</p>
