We all have that place we can conveniently call a place of strength or better still, a safe haven to fall back to when in trouble. It is a good thing to know you have such a reserve that has your back covered especially when you need it the most.
Well, as cool as it sounds, it is most difficult to differentiate between when you are still in protection in that zone or you are just simply being comfortable under the umbrella of a safe zone. Everything we experience or do in life always have good or bad consequences, sometimes both interwoven in the same process.
Let me explain, a cold weather is good especially when you feel hot, staying in an ice-covered region could kill the same person if exposed long enough. The basic difference here is temperature change, no longer what it used to be and now the same circumstance but a little change in the atmospheric condition now makes the same enjoyable moment, deleterious to your health.
We are all that way,
we have turned some temporary place of rest to a permanent abode to stay.
Very good to be safe and protected but it's bad to tarry for too long in such a region or space.
That same region we all eventually get used to and refuse to leave which also affects us at the long run if care is not taken is called COMFORT ZONE.
Any comfort zone is an habitable place for any individual. It feels good and puts us in a position where we are far away from hurt, disappointments and several other things that alter our happy composition.
Is it wrong to stay in a comfort zone?
No, it is never wrong to be at your comfort zone. What feels wrong and had proven itself overtime is staying too long in your comfort zone.
Several things have proven to us that humans will naturally agree to the status quo of events if not pushed to try something new or dare something almost impossible.
Our most relaxed position is often times our most unproductive position
Sadly, we do not even know we are lagging behind until there is an awakening.
Comfort zone to an achiever or a go,-getter is never a good niche or place to be
Our limiting tendencies are hidden in our seemingly good and i-have-it-all position. This position has killed many people than we can estimate.
Think about why you need to look out for money when you already have a good paid job and it's just an amazing feeling that makes you feel you have it all. Well, no matter how much you earn, there is someone somewhere who earns more than double of all that you feel comfortable with.
Look at the human nature, we do not like to be in a disadvantaged position and so our quest for more all the time. Economics has given has proven the fact that human wants and needs are insatiable.
We look for more even in the midst of more.
For people who have the heart of the community, your earning becomes so little when you think of the impact to be made in the society so broad. For such people, comfort is always a word they don't accurately define.
Well, if you know what this post is driving at, then you will get your grooves back on, your bags back up, your shoe back on, your pen back writing and your head thinking about the next
Look inward, there is always something we should be doing that has not been done.
Why?
Because we have the feeling of arrival, when we are just getting started on a journey.
Status quo firmly is a great enemy to progress and to get it all back up, you need to get status quo all behind you and get your drive back up.
Our goals should drive our steps, our steps eventually lead us to our destinations. In this regard, destination is our definition of destiny.
If you think your future is bright, according to the picture you have painted in your heart. Don't stay on a past success or glory. Reach further and farther for something that is still in its growing stage, waiting for your ceremonial unveiling.
You are much more than this
