Beyond the coozy cocoon: Embracing growth through discomfort

There are some people that don't believe they have to leave their comfort zones before they become successful or achieve their dreams. Some of them even look at their friends and say things like 'Tunde was in his father's house and made it, I can do the same'. What works for one person won't work for another.

Leaving comfort can also be about growing up. A child will always be comfortable under the parents but as time goes on, the child will go into the world, make mistakes and learn from them. And from there they become adults.

This exact thing applies to dreams, you can't hold onto your comfort and expect to achieve your dreams. You have to leave your comfort, leave the fear of failure, fear of starting over also fear of been rejected. That's when you can truly grow.

Don't get me wrong, comfort is not bad. Everyone wants to have peace, and feel safe, but we should know when it's time to move on, know when it's time to grow.

Even when we talk about careers and relationships, a lot of us hold onto things because they are familiar. We should learn to listen to our hearts and know when it's time to let it to enable us grow.

Leaving comfort is about chasing a purpose, not running from peace. It's about telling yourself that you want more out of life and be brave enough to do it.

Ofcourse leaving comfort can be truly beautiful but can also be scary. It can open doors that you ever thought existed. Yes, the road can be hard, but it can lead you to the best version of yourself.

Leaving comfort can mean different things, it can mean moving to a new place, changing routines, or starting a new job. Comfort feels like home, it is warm and familiar but can make you stuck at the time. It can make you give up, stop trying and stop dreaming of something better.

Sometimes we stay in one place for very long because we are afraid of what will happen when we leave. But what if something better and great is out there waiting for us? We an never know unless we take that first step and that's leaving our comfort behind.
