We all like to be comfortable. When we are comfortable, we are in the state of being physically, mentally, and emotionally at ease. When we are comfortable, we feel a sense of security, relief, and contentment. Consequently, people of all ages and from all walks of life love the feeling of being in their comfort zone.
Our comfort zone provides a safe place to hide from the world – but nothing of significance will ever happen there. Our comfort zone is the enemy of innovation. It will squelch new thoughts, ideas, and creativity. It will rob us of true happiness and success.
When you look around at all the people you know, you will find very few who are not trapped in their comfort zone. Most people don’t like to be challenged or pushed out of their comfort zone. Most people, unfortunately, have an aversion to change. As a result, they will remain in their comfort zone until they are forced to change.
Our comfort zone may feel good – but it is a trap that prevents us from being all we can be. It also prevents us from getting the most out of life. Life is short – much too short to be held captive by our comfort zone! Please don’t allow yourself to get too comfortable!
Quote Worth Re-Quoting
“Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone.” ~ Billy Cox
