Simplicity Of The Comfort Zone

What separates a BRAND from a brand is the ability of the BRAND creator to ALWAYS step out of his/her comfort zone. How truly comforting is that zone? Are you really going to remain there? Are seriously not going to make anymore effort? Are you genuinely engrossed in that zone that you are undeniably satisfied with all your eyes can see and your mind hovers in thinking about? Is there really nothing more you want?


Comfort zone for me means that you are not thinking futuristic. You don't have the confidence it takes to get out, the braveness to venture, sense of humor to accept defeat, the responsibility to quit your enjoyment, and the heart to continue or start all over. (this applies to different context). As a matter of fact, i see no wrong in a person being or living within his/her comfort zone, but where my problem lies is when you over stay your welcome and you are leisurely insensitive to discern when you should stand and take the next upward step.

It pays me well, (to a large extent) to embrace different perceptions, of cause for better understanding. I have been engaged in some conversations with people and i have come to understand that our society makes us understand that the "comfort zone" means that one is unwilling to try out things. I totally agree with that, i only seek to add to that knowledge.

Every (social, physical, financial, psychological, spiritual) progressive stage of your life remains commendable until you stop thinking about self-created targets, time lines, and finish dates. What i mean is that, at some point in your life you feel OK; you feel good about your achievement's, about the level of education you have attained, about the level you are at your work place, about the knowledge and experience you have gathered, and you subconsciously say to yourself "oh i am good". The truth is that, this happens to most of us in the 'littlest' of ways, be it in our relationships with others, our marriage, our work, our business, our spiritual life (every other area of our lives). You get so comfortable with how you see yourself that you are unwilling to think out of the box anymore.

OK! Let say you got out of that comfort zone, you tried some thing new, you took that step and you have succeeded. What next? Guess what! it doesn't end there (you start the process again and again...). When you stay on each achievement for too long, that "New Thing" becomes obsolete at some point and automatically slides you into "The Comfort Zone" again. At every level of good achievement, we should relish the joy and excitement that comes with it and be sensitive enough to keep on moving.

One of the most scary stage of ignorance is, when we don't know, and we don't know, that we don't know.  "my people perish for the lack of knowledge... (Hosea 4 vs 6)"
