Before I realize it, I always find myself staying in my comfort zone. I do know the benefits of staying out of it. Though it is uncomfortable to talk to someone you don't know, it will help make a new friend, right? Looking back over my decades-long life, whenever I got out of my comfort zone, that was when I was able to take a big step forward. Then, why is it so hard to keep this habit?
I am like this boiling frog. While staying in comfort zone, I don't dare to try out new things. I do the same old things and becoming more afraid of making mistakes. The question I need to ask is,,, "Have you done a reality check?" What if the surrounding situation has been gradually changing? What if you are already in boiling water? Your comfort zone may NOT be so comfortable any more.
Sometimes I get so comfortable to do the same or so afraid of making mistakes, but I hope I will have the courage to take a more difficult path if I am given choices. For my better success (whatever it means, I mean here as "my personal happiness"), I would like to keep pushing my boundaries. I've got to stay out of my comfort zone!
It seems like you’re talking just about me, haha. Most people in the world are in their comfort zone, but people who make a success surely have the courage to get out of their comfort zone. Everyone knows this, but it’s so difficult to take action. Why? I think they don’t have enough motivation to step out of their comfort zone. This is true of me too, though. People tend to worry about mistakes and think of too much hard work they’ll need to do, but they should visualize what they will be in the future. This time, it’s a very meaningful one that may change my life. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThis is not talking about anyone particularly. It is truly about myself. I wrote this just as a reminder of myself. Ha ha.
DeleteI haven't thought about it, but you are so right in saying that "People should visualize what they will be in the future to stay out their comfort zone." If the goals are set high, you are not satisfied with the status quo. You will start moving. At the same time, I also realize the importance of "knowing one has enough" in a good way.
