We all seek comfort and stability in our lives. It is natural that a person wants an environment where he does not have to take risks and see everything comfortable. This situation gradually turns into our comfort zone. But have you ever thought that this comfort zone can become the biggest enemy of your success? If you do not get out of it, then you stand in one place throughout your life. History is witness that those who broke their comfortable atmosphere, the same people moved forward and touched new heights.
Why is the comfort zone dangerous?
Staying in the comfort zone initially feels good. No challenge, no pressure, no fear of failure. But this is where stagnation begins. When a person stops facing new challenges, his abilities and thinking power gradually become limited. It is as if a fish remains in a small pond and does not dare to go to the sea. Without getting out, big opportunities, new possibilities and real success can never be found.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s view
Former President of India and great scientist Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam often inspired the youth not to run away from difficulties to fulfill their dreams, but embrace them. He said-“The great dreamers become great.” Kalam Saheb’s life is a living example of this. His journey to missile man and become president was not easy. He faced many failures, but every time he got out of his comfort zone and achieved new achievements.
Challenges only get real learning
When we face difficult situations, they make us strong. Easy paths never teach deep. For example, if a student reads only the question that comes to him, then the new questions in the exam will be nervous. But if he tries to solve the challenging questions, his brain will be stronger despite failing. The same applies to life. The more you face difficulties, the more life you will improve.
Stories of successful people
All the successful people in the world, one thing is common in their stories – they stepped out of their comfort zone.
Steve Jobs left college and started working according to his interest. He took a risk and set up the foundation of a company like Apple.
Dhirubhai Ambani set the journey from working at a petrol pump to becoming an industrialist because he did not compromise on a stable life.
My com broke the perceptions of society in a difficult game like women’s boxing and proved herself.
All of them showed that if you live in the comfort zone in fear of failure, then you will never touch the real height.
How to get out of comfort zone?
Take small steps-instead of suddenly big changes, gradually adopt new habits.
Accept failure – Understand defeat, not the reason for stopping.
Learn new skills – Make a habit of learning something new every day.
Take a risk – nothing is achieved without taking risks.
Join positive people – Inspirational atmosphere will encourage you to move forward.
