to get to grow, you have to stretch your limits.
You have to take a chance on yourself.
Sometimes, when youthinkyoure playing it safe, youre actually holding yourself back.
Natalie Allen
Youre actually doing yourself a disservice.
You should attempt to find the career and partner and home that speaks to your soul.
You shouldnt allow yourself to settle in any area.
The problem is, sometimes you dontrealizeyoure settling.
You think youre doing the best you might.
You think youve already reached your peak.
But there is always room for improvement, for growth.
I am slowly learning your comfort zone can suffocate you.
Its a nice place to stay for a while, but you dont want to stay there forever.
You dont want to lock yourself away.
you might make changes at any point.
you could move across the country or across the state.
you’ve got the option to quit your job or ask for a raise.
you’ve got the option to make new friends or walk new paths.
you could switch up the routine you have gotten used to following.
Your comfort zone might be consistent and reliable but its rarely exciting, exhilarating, challenging.
Its rarely going to push you further.
Its usually going to keep you stuck in the same place.
Right now, that place might be where you belong.
But five years from now, it might not be where you belong anymore.
Your comfort zone is going to suffocate you if you spend too much time there.
Its easy to assume youre doing the right thing when youve fallen into a comfortable routine.
After all, change would mean a period of stress.
It would mean disrupting your perfectly average, quiet life.
It might be an adventure, but it would also be an inconvenience.
Even though change can be unwanted and intimidating, you cant resist it.
Just because youre comfortable, it doesnt mean youre where youre supposed to be.
You might be lingering in the wrong place for too long.
You might need to spread your wings right about now.
