It’s dangerous to settle.
It’s dangerous to stay stuck in one place.
It’s dangerous to pretend we’re fulfilled when our souls are secretly hungering for more.

Even if we arent exactlyhappyin our current situations, at least there arent any surprises.
At least we know what were getting.
At least we know we can handle the pain.
Were used to the situations weve been stuck in.
Weve grown accustomed to the way things work.
It might not be comfortable, but its familiar.
Change, on the other hand, is scary.
Change is something we want to avoid, even though change might alter our lives for the better.
And we cant handle worse.
We dont want to drop to rock bottom.
We would rather keep going the way we are right now because it might be bad but its notthatbad.
We stay in our comfort zones because we lie to ourselves about how everything is fine.
Our jobs are fine.
Our apartments are fine.
Our relationships are fine.
We dont want to get greedy.
We dont want to ask for anything unrealistic.
We want to be careful about what we wish for to avoid disappointment.
We dont want to get our hopes up too high because we dont want them to come crashing down.
We avoid rejection and heartache and failure at all costs.
We try our best to protect ourselves by smothering ourselves.
We stay in our comfort zones because we tell ourselves we arent ready to start anew yet.
We procrastinate every single day.
We come up with ridiculous excuses about why the timing isnt right for us to make a move.
We stay in our comfort zones because we dont have complete faith in ourselves.
Were worried were not going to make it.
Were worried we wont have what it takes to succeed.
We stay in our comfort zones because its the easiest option but its not the safest option.
Its dangerous to settle.
Its dangerous to stay stuck in one place.
Its dangerous to pretend were fulfilled when our souls are secretly hungering for more.
Its dangerous to tell ourselves this is as good as its ever going to get.
We have a million different excuses to stay in our comfort zones but we should really break free.
We should really start listening to our hearts.
