Are you aware of Comfort Zones?

The problem with comfort zone is that many people do not even know that they are operating in one. Take my own example - I was 27 when I first learned about comfort zones and how it limits my life. The sheer knowledge of living a mediocre life, only because I did not try, made me step out and do things I hadn’t done before. And now with certain level of certainty I can say that I keep changing and reinventing myself.

So, what is a comfort zone? Let me explain. When we are in a state of doing something or being something, we get comfortable in that state. This then becomes a zone which we do not want to exit. Such a zone is called a comfort zone. According to experts people remain in the comfort zone because they are afraid of failure outside the zone and/or afraid to try out anything new or different.

In many cases people do know what a comfort zone is yet do nothing about it. There could be two reasons for that:

They don’t know what to do or
They don’t want to do anything about it.

The first set can be forgiven but what about the second set of people? More so, the ones who do not want to do anything about their lives? I think I am treading on the shores of judgment now and therefore, let the topic rest.

To summarize I have come to realize two things about comfort zones. One - people do not know what a comfort zone is and two - even those who know, do not want to do anything about it. In such cases many continue to live their live of mediocrity, if not misery. The blessed minority are the ones who step out of the comfort zone trap and touch newer heights.

I would want to be a part of the blessed minority. How about you?
