Comfort is the enemy. When you really think about, there is nothing comfortable about a comfort zone. Eventually you become stagnant, lazy, and bored. We are creatures of habit, and familiarity is what breeds comfort, but unfortunately, nothing grows in a comfort zone.
If you aren’t where you want to be in your life, it is most likely because you are stuck in your comfort zone. One of the biggest things that holds people back is fear, but fear is an illusion that is created by your mind. When is the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone and took on a new challenge? The reality is that if you aren’t growing, you’re dying.
In order to achieve success in life, you have to be willing to take risks. When you do so, you discover who you truly are, which opens up the doors for growth, possibility, and change. The most successful people in the world made the choice to take the road less traveled; they learned how to get comfortable being uncomfortable by constantly pushing and testing the limits.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Are you ready to take the leap and tap into the unlimited potential that resides within you?

Some people believe that on the other side of a goal is a life of comfort. They think that the struggle that they have to go through today is just a temporary process, and on the other side of the fence, life becomes easy and effortless. This is far from true.
They sell this illusion to themselves because it creates a sense of sanity. The challenge with this belief system is that once these people achieve their goal, they may take their foot off the gas, because they think, “I made it.” The reality is that the moment you get comfortable is the moment when you know you have to change something in your life.
There have been times in my life when I achieved such a high level of success, which made me feel that I had ‘made it’ and could now do whatever I wanted. It was at this point that I stopped working hard. Soon thereafter, I found myself in a place of boredom and depression. I had no sense of purpose. I slowly regressed back to old habits and I stopped feeling that sense of mission and excitement.
I believe that, as human beings, we become who we are through challenges and adversities. We have to learn to embrace the unknown. That is when we learn who we truly are and what we are made of. Comfort is the enemy. The only way that you grow is by stepping outside of your comfort zone. When you stop growing, you are no longer happy and fulfilled.
One of the best decisions that I made in my life is accepting that, in order to feel alive and be happy, I have to do things that make me feel uncomfortable. This shift in my mindset took my life to a whole other level. The most successful people in the world work the hardest. They don’t need to do it, but they do because they understand that growth is a part of life.
Someone who is dedicated to living a life of mastery ascribes to this way of thinking. It all comes down to your mindset. It’s OK to be comfortable and experience pleasure. I encourage you to celebrate your accomplishments, but don’t let it hinder you from growing and evolving in your life.
Comfort is the enemy. I challenge you to open your mind to this new way of thinking. Although it might feel warm and cozy in your comfort zone, there is no room for excitement or adventure. Adversity, problems and difficult times are a reality of life. Embrace them, and acknowledge that they are there to teach you something about yourself and the world. Instead of looking at discomfort in a negative way, why not embrace it as a gift in order to grow and maximize your potential?
Lou Macabasco said it best – “We cannot become what we want to be by remaining what we are. We can only change our life, if we are brave enough to be out of our comfort zone, because the first step to change in your circumstances, is a change from within you.”
