Cortez, for some of us, "leaping outside your comfort zone" is far more traumatic than for others, and can cause lifelong scars. People like myself and Mat have typically become this way because we were "thrown" out of our comfort zones at least a few times when we were young, and genuinely needed the security it provided. Remember that not everyone will be affected the same way by what works for any one person.
Having grown a huge amount in the last five or six years myself, certainly more than I ever imagined I would, and primarily because of the Alpha set, I would say that my comfort zone now is miles further out, metaphorically speaking, than it used to be. That wasn't a quick transition, but with repeated use of the AM set and a steadfast refusal to be mistreated and trying to do the right thing, I got here and I'm still trucking. Just follow in my footsteps, Mat. Slow and steady wins the race. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.
