Your Comfort Zone Is The Enemy

I see many people ask a lot of the time about the secret to success. Well, I do not have the answer to that question as success for everyone can be relative. But I believe I could say one or two things that could at least help guide the way. The answer I would like to give is by being better everyday. And this answer might sound like a cliche to you, but it is way more than that.

And the next question is always how do I get better everyday. The answer I believe is my getting out of your comfort zone everyday. First, you have to understand that success that you see is not an immediate result of simply getting out of your comfort zone. Success is a byproduct of getting better everyday. So you do not seek out to be successful, but simply being better everyday at what you do. And this simply means learning everyday what it means to be out of your comfort zone.

And when we discuss getting out of our comfort zone, some of us imagine it to be doing something so extraordinary from what we do everyday. Yes, that is the goal, but you do just have to start a little at a time. The first question you would ask yourself is what am I comfortable at? What do I feel not much pressure doing? These activities you highlight have to be activities that you kind of do everyday. And to be better, you simply have to go from the area where you are comfortable at to some other areas you are not very sure of yourself and begin to grow there.

Well, it also starts small. Remember just a little more is what you need to start doing. It could be as small as facing something you are not used to for about 5 to 10 minutes in a day. It could be as simple as checking up with your friends. The most important thing is to start doing something that you were not comfortably doing before. A little at a time. Trying to do so much at a time sometimes makes us overwhelmed and easily lose the fuel to continue on our journey.

So understand that it is important to be comfortable, but sometimes our comfort zone is the enemy. You feel okay but you are not moving forward. And essentially to be successful simply means you are making progress in one area of life or another. Be careful not to assume that I mean you need to start stressing yourself all out. Getting out of your comfort zone can be as simple as sticking to a routine you find difficult to follow up on.

For me, getting out of my comfort zone is about sticking to my schedule of writing, going out for a run and some other few little things you might not consider very very important. So what I am saying is try to get to do things that would make you a better person, or simply take you a little above average. And when you get to that level, you realize you can really go higher and from there, there is no saying what you can achieve.

So I say to you today to look carefully at what you do everyday with your life. Are you comfortable where you are? Good, then begin to seek things you can do that can make you better than who you currently are. Then simply stick to doing it. Understand that 1 hour a day makes 30 hours at the end of the month, and there is a lot of things you can achieve with that time.

So start now, keep going, keep pushing, you never know what you can achieve if you never leave your comfort zone. I know and believe you can be much better than you currently are, so go for it and be the best that you can be. The world would be a better place one person at a time if we keep getting better everyday. So go do something that nudges you further out of your comfort zone. The world awaits your greatness. Thanks and God Bless.
