EXIT YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND FULFILL YOUR DREAMS

Comfort zone and the need for security

One of the basic human needs is a sense of security, for which they are able to sacrifice a lot, even to be stuck in the same point.

The need for safety mobilizes our brain to provide us with the greatest possible comfort and peace in order to minimize the risk and reduce stress.

This is our comfort zone.

However, is this zone the best for us?

Let me tell you a story.

Imagine that you live in a large, wonderful house, you have everything you need to live in it, every day a courier also brings you shopping directly to your home, the house is full of security, so that no one can enter it without your will. You feel completely safe. You feel like you have everything.

Yet, sometimes the thought arises that you are missing something. You are also a bit bored, because how much you can watch TV, play on the computer, browse the web, walk in the same rooms forever, cook, clean. With each passing day, this hunger and boredom grow stronger. You want to change something. You already want to go outside, but then you remember that the media warns you against going outside because it is dangerous outside.

Fear awakens in you, and yet you back away. Again, a few days pass when you do the same activities. The days merge into one. The urge to open the door and go outside appears again. You already open the door, but then fear arises again. The need for security has won.

The days pass and the need for change arises again. But fear reminds me again. However, this time you decide not to give up.

As security, fear and the need to change compete with each other, you decide to make the change in small steps and prepare to go outside. You read how it’s outside. You make a plan. You prepare the inventory. You feel prepared. Finally, you feel ready. You take up the challenge and open the door.

You go out.

The outside world surprises you with a variety of colors, fragrances and textures. You cannot get your gaze. You move on. You see the forest, birds, stones. You delight in every step you take. You are surprised that you were afraid to leave so far. Suddenly you come to a place with a view from above over the mountain range, over the towns, villages below, and other people. You take in the view. You are happy. You overcame your fear and achieved your goal. You have a world in front of you that you can explore. You are filled with a feeling of satisfaction. You are fulfilled and proud of yourself. I won’t be bored anymore do you think ……

This short story symbolizes the way out of your comfort zone. At the beginning it is difficult for us, because the need for security and fear are very strong, but if we overcome our fears, the reality may surprise us very positively.

Because:

EXIT YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND FIND OUT WHAT’S BEHIND
