While you're reading this ..lets conduct a simple exercise ...
Let me tell you what you would do.
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.
