Why did The Chemical Buddha Cross the Road?

“To find the middle of the road, you need to thoroughly explore the ditches.”
The Chemical Buddha saw himself as a centrist, even though his life exhibited some extreme behaviors. So we figured he considered himself a ‘middle of the road guy’ because he was constantly bouncing from one ditch to the other. So technically, he saw the middle of the road more than anything, but it was more of a flyover. Not a place he actually spent any time. The Chemical Buddha believed he needed to push himself until he found the edge of his comfort zone. Then, just to be sure, he would take a step beyond that. This would allow him to find his operating range. The only bad part was he never found that edge of discomfort and didn’t know when to pull back. In the end, death turned out to be TCB’s edge.
Where is your edge in your life? How might you benefit from stepping beyond it?
What do you think will happen if you get out of your comfort zone?
