The Comfort Zone

The Comfort Zone...It sounds like a good place to be, but in a world of change, it’s really not.

The Comfort Zone is when we’re doing just enough or we’re unconsciously going through the motion.

The Comfort Zone is familiar...that’s why we choose to stay there. It’s not always to our liking, but it’s familiar. Sometimes we even get results that we don’t like, but since they’re familiar, we just choose to keep doing the same thing.

So rather than risk changing, we choose to stay.

We have to change in order to move forward... But if we want to grow and get to a better place, an improved place, we have to get out of the Comfort Zone...

You see...Growth happens when we step out of the Comfort Zone.

A quote from Eric Hoffer says it best: “In a world of change, the learners shall inherit the earth, while the learned shall find themselves perfectly suited for a world that no longer exists.”

How are you responding to your current life experience and how are you preparing yourself to move forward?

Here are a few thoughts:

• Life is about change and growth...it’s necessary if we want to live it to the fullest

• With growth comes discomfort, fear, uncertainty...but when we’re not growing we experience the same things (is just that they are familiar)

• In order to change and grow, we have to make a decision to do so....not only that...we have to make a decision we’re not going to stay where we are

• In order to change & grow we have to change our attitude and perception

• We have to be persistent...know there will be obstacles, so look at obstacles as opportunities

• We have to be committed to the life we want and NOT just the life we have.

In the end...the choice is always yours ...I hope you choose to continue growing.
