Have you ever noticed that when we stay in the same place, we feel bored? When we are doing the same things without any improvements or uniqueness, we start getting bored. Why does this happen so often? Because change is necessary. Change is inevitable, and change is the law of the universe. Do we eat food with the same food at home every day? No, we often need variations in our breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Do we watch the same repeated story of any show each day? No, we want a different story in the same show. We need different stories each day. We need different people in our lives. We need some different topics to write about as writers. We need different concepts and ideas for sketching and painting. We need different and bigger goals to grow.
Life is made by choices. The choices you make, the life you create. If you have to make one choice, you have to leave the other. If you have to choose growth, you’ve to leave comfort. Choosing comfort over growth can be the biggest mistake. Growth isn’t draining. Stagnation is. That’s why it’s necessary for you to choose discomfort to choose growth. That’s why it is said that comfort is cancer. Once you enter your comfort zone. It starts killing your growth zone. You need to get out of your comfort zone to grow in your life.
What is a comfort zone?
A comfort zone is a routine that we build for ourselves to feel safe. A comfort zone is a place where you stop progressing. If you’re not challenging yourself, you’re making yourself weak. To become capable of unexpected challenges, you need challenges in your life. The more challenges you face, the more capable you become. In your comfort zone, you stop learning new things. In your comfort zone, you start missing opportunities. In your comfort zone, you start feeling monotonous. Your comfort zone is cancer. A comfort zone is a zone that kills your personal growth.
Your Comfort zone kills your personal growth:
We don’t know what can happen in our lives. Life is full of unexpected challenges. No matter how rich you are, no matter how poor you are. The poor have their own problems, and the rich have their own problems. Employees have their own problems, and business owners have their own problems. Students have their problems, and teachers have their own problems. Children have their own problems, and parents have their own problems. Political leaders have their own problems. Citizens of a nation have their own problems. We all have to face challenges in this life. The day we start learning is the day we stop growing. And the comfort zone kills our personal growth. Personal growth is responsible for all kinds of growth in our lives. That’s why it’s necessary to optimise your life. And optimising your life can be possible only when you get out of your comfort zone.
Comfort zone leads to stagnation:
Time keeps bleeding. And with time, it’s necessary to keep growing. The day we stop taking new challenges in our lives, we start feeling stagnated. At this point of stagnation, we start feeling empty. It seems like we don’t have a purpose. We start feeling like we are not living a life. Because we were born for adventures. The more adventures we have, the better we feel. The more victories we have, the happier we feel. And the comfort zone stops us from doing this. That’s why it’s said that taking no risk is the biggest risk.
Your Comfort zone stops you from grabbing new opportunities:
Life is all about trials and errors. We don’t know what can be a goldmine and what can be a dumpyard. As I already told you, life is about making choices. Your choices can either make you or break you. Your choices are defined by your wisdom. The more experience and wisdom you have, there are more chances you’ll make the right choices. The less experience and wisdom you have, the fewer chances you have to make the right choices. But you can’t run away, because the best experiences come from the right choices. And high-level wisdom can come from making wrong choices. To understand what’s good, we need to go through lots of bad things. That’s universal law. And you have to understand this.
Your comfort zone makes you less adaptable:
To survive and thrive, you need adaptability to deal with unexpected challenges. Adaptability is the most important trait a person can have. The more adaptable you are, the more chances you have to deal with any situation in life. So if you want to be more adaptable, you need to get out of your comfort zone.
Now you know, the comfort zone is like a trap. The comfort zone is temporary. It gives us temporary safety. But life is more than just staying safe. Life is more about doing new things, finding a purpose, chasing goals, and having a better lifestyle. So start taking the risks you need to take. Try something better and new. Try to know more than you know. You may fail, but this will humble you. Failure makes someone a better person.
