Comfort Zone

 Comfort Zone

"Comfort Zone is a beautiful place, but nothing grows there."

 What is a comfort zone? It sounds so pleasing and tempting. Who doesn't want to be in their comfort zone? Every individual in the world is working their hearts out to live life in comfort. The word comfort itself is so comforting. According to Merriam-Webster online dictionary - comfort zone means " the level at which one functions with ease and familiarity".  I always wanted to be that sloth on the sofa relaxing and enjoying my comfort zone. Leaving whole the world behind, keeping everything aside, and just being me in my cozy small world of my comfort zone. Minding my own business and expecting others to mind their own. 

    But, being in one's comfort zone tends to exclude and cocoon oneself from all the challenges ahead. It closes every possibility that is waiting for them at the next corner. The possibility of ruining their life or blooming their life, the result that depends on the decision that they make. And all possibilities are overshadowed by - Comfort Zone. People fear the possibilities and stick to their comfort zone. They find excuses to be in their comfort zone and to be there, they themselves close their own windows.

    Comfort Zone is a desire every heart fantasizes about but, has proven to be a barrier to personal and professional growth. The more we learn to step out of our comfort zone, the more we are exposed to the new challenges and the opportunities which follow. We need to challenge our own boundary to explore our limitation and expand our scope.
