comfort zone

Comfort zone we all have it it is a place where we feel safe and nothing seems bad to happen and beyond is all the bad things are but are comfort zones really that good in the pic it shows that beyond it is the learning zone this is were life really is according to Wikipedia comfort zones  is a psychological state in which things feel familiar to a person and they are at ease and in control of their environment, experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress. In this zone, a steady level of performance is possible.

Bardwick defines the term as "a behavioral state where a person operates in an anxiety-neutral position. Brown describes it as "Where our uncertainty, scarcity, and vulnerability are minimized where we believe we'll have access to enough love, food, talent, time, admiration. Where we feel we have some control

according to these definitions, there is a low level of risk and everything is in our control I don't know about you but when everything is always going your way it means your life is boring life is about taking the risk as beyond it is more.

As the image suggests growth begins at the end of the comfort zone as good as the comfort zone is there are many downsides to it as well these are the downsides  

1. It’s keeping you from growth

In life, you’re either growing or dying. That might seem a bit exaggerated — and it is — but it’s not meant to be taken literally.

The primary ingredient for a happy life very well may be progress, as recent positive psychology studies have pointed towards. Shawn Achor, positive psychologist and author of The Happiness Advantage, refers to happiness as “the joy you feel moving towards your potential.”

2. It’s keeping you from trying new things

Perhaps the most important effort of our life is to discover what we have a passion for and to devote ourselves to the mastery of it. We do this both for the good of ourselves and to make a positive difference in the world.

Some of us, the lucky ones, discover what we’re passionate about early on in life. We know in our heart we’ve found what we love and can dedicate the rest of our life to the mastery of it – and enjoying every minute of it.

However, if you’re anything like me, you spent the first 20-30 years of your life experimenting and having little but a vague idea of what that thing might be. For most of us, it takes time to discover what we love and have a passion for. This is perfectly okay and natural. That is, so long as you’re trying new things and actively discovering what you like and don’t like.

The problem is, so long as you’re within your comfort zone, you’ll rarely if ever try new things (and often only if you’re forced into it).

This stops the discovery process altogether and keeps you from finding what you have a passion for. And this keeps you from being truly happy.

 and the last but not least is 

It’s conditioning you to settle

If you continue to live within your comfort zone until later in life, something else happens that seeks to threaten your growth and happiness….

You settle.

At some point in life, if this discovery hasn’t yet found its way to you, we grow tired and settle for what we have. This is perhaps the worst fate of all. Because while you’re technically still alive, you go on to live as if you were dead, settling into a life which doesn’t truly make you happy and never taking any chances.

there is so much to live for it may take a while for us to leave our comfort zone but it more worst to just stay in it make life is about experiences do you want to remember your life that way so go out there  and remember 

That’s the key word here: moving.

Growth is about progress.

Progress is about movement.
