THE COMFORT ZONE

While you're reading this ..lets conduct a simple exercise ...

Slowly start observing yourself and your surroundings...Where are you right now  ?  living room ,your own room?

Are you lying on your couch or slouched in a chair?  cup of tea/coffee by your side ? You might as well be listening to music .

Im guessing you're feeling quite relaxed,safe and secure aren't you.

Now if i ask you to get to a gym and start working out,or get out for a sprint...or maybe even call up someone you like and have a meaningful conversation.....would you do all that without flinching?

 Let me tell you what you would  do.

You'd rather stay there ,sip that coffee ,refresh that facebook page for the millionth time,unaware of what opportunities are out there.

This my friends,is your COMFORT ZONE.

 Its real ,and it exists.  Its not limited to your room .. It extends to your professional life,your relationships and it is the biggest influencer of the decisions you make.

When we're in the comfort zone ,any new idea or thought provokes our subconscious ...and its programmed to fight it...protective instincts.

But unfortunately our instincts dont seem to differentiate between real threats and  new dynamic opportunities do they ? FEAR has become our biggest motivator...we seem to make all our life decisions based on that alone.Think about it...all the wonderful opportunities you've missed by living in a shell.

We deliberately limit ourselves  since its scary to dream big ...its LIFE THREATENING to chart our own path.......seems like a pretty pathetic way of thinking.....the comfort zone is the one true poison in our lives...it limits us, degenerates us ..makes us unsatisfied.

SO...what are we gonna do about this?.get back to refreshing pages...or getting out there and pushing ourselves...learn to step outside of your comfort zone...and love the uncertainty  it brings...it isnt a one step process..take your time..explore and discover ..be the best you can be.

After all ..what is certain?you might just  die this very moment.

take control of your life .....

How many times we have made a decision but couldn't fulfill it? How many times we have dreamed but couldn't pursue it? Is it really because the numerous factors in our life that we blame or is it really just ourselves. From the time we could comprehend the world, we have been taught to listen to our inner self, our conscience, but as we grow up, we realize that there are multiple factors in our life which suppresses the voice inside us. Some of us want to be something, want to do certain things in life but shy away because we think that it is not conventional according to our society, but hey, look around, the people who are actually successful are the ones who did something unconventional. I always give the example of primitive beings, what if the man who first thought of tilling the land would have listened to the others who said it can't be done, what if Gandhi listened to others and thought independence is not possible, what if the Wright Brothers followed convention and thought they can't fly. Where would humanity be today if man always followed society's convention, nowhere. History has witnessed that great men who have changed the way we think, the way we live have always been people whom the world has shunned from the conventional society. That's exactly the point I'm trying to make. "Evolution requires a revolution" is a common notion but how many of us follow it.

By revolution i mean the revolution within, within your own self. Take control of your life, do the unconventional, do what your inner self tells you to do, don't laze around, don't take the easy way out in every situation, take the path your heart tells you, it may be difficult, it may be different, people may point you out that you are doing wrong, but you'll know what is right, don't lie to yourself, take the long way home, enjoy the journey, you'll see you'll emerge successful.

Now there are ways how you'll go about it, and which I'll discuss further, till then live life, enjoy every moment, be good to people around you, don;t take anyone or anything for granted, above all live life.
