Comfort Zone

Do you like a routine life? Does doing anything out of the usual scare you? Do you feel comfortable and safe where you are? Congratulations you are not alone as there are so many people on this boat.

“Comfort zone” as it is called is a zone or place where we feel safe, content, comfortable and we don’t need to do too much to get by. As comfortable as this zone is, it can also hinder us from achieving great things.

We are so comfortable with where we are that unconsciously we don’t crave mind-blowing achievements anymore, the little things around our jurisdiction are fine by us. The less stressful, easy peasy, and smooth sailing life is what we like and prioritize.

Some of us are very talented, we are talented to the point that even if we use just a quarter of our talent we would still be super successful but we would rather relax and enjoy in that little bubble we’ve created for ourselves.

I’m not just publishing this post for you all but for myself as well. This should be a wake-up call to everyone who in one way or another is stuck in their comfort zone and have no thoughts of stepping out anytime soon.

Lately, I have been telling myself some harsh truths but as much as these truths stink they are very necessary for my growth and I needed to hear every one of them.

Like they say, our brain craves familiarity. Since our brain craves familiarity anything that appears contrary to what we are used to becomes a threat to our nice and comfortable bubble. To protect ourselves from “Stressing” too much we avoid whatever challenge that we are faced with. We would rather play safe than play hard.

Someone once said, “Do something scary every day, something that makes you nauseous”. Lately, I have been trying to do this and I have also been keeping a track record of how many scary things I do daily and weekly. You can never know how daring or audacious you are until you take a bold step.

While we try to shy away from big responsibilities and challenges we will continue to remain stuck at a particular spot.

There are so many people out there who aren’t as half as good as us but they are out there doing great things and making a mark while we continue to remain cozy in our comfort zone.

Stepping out of our comfort zone can be nerve-wracking, daunting, and exhausting but this is where the bigger picture lies. Stepping out of our comfort zone can lead to greater opportunities, breakthroughs, and accomplishments.

Nothing good comes easy in life, constantly choosing the easy way out will only hinder you from growing.

You are talented and blessed and you have all it takes to do great things.

The world just isn’t ready for your greatness so why hide in that little corner and do nothing?

To everyone who finds it difficult to leave their comfort zone, I pray you get the strength and courage to take that step. I am rooting for you 😃
