Do you enjoy feeling comfortable? Living within your comfort zone is a pleasant lifestyle choice. However, you are not able to grow as a person when you are in your comfort zone. Self growth takes place outside ot your comfort zone.
It is human nature to stay comfortable, and we feel snug and safe when we are surrounded by the familiar. We easy fall into becoming creatures of habit. Habits provide security. They feel safe, whether they are good habits or bad ones.
However, as the saying goes,’If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.’
We will not reach our goals and fulfil our dreams by living according to our habits. Habits can prevent you from moving on into new and uncharted areas of growth. It is important to spend some time in self examination. Which habits do you possess? Are they working for you, or being an obstacle to where you want to be?
Sometimes poor habits become so ingrained into who you are, you don’t even notice how they steal your dreams. Personal growth will come from creating habits that take you towards your goals, not preventing you from getting there. You must make choices which support the results you want. By repetition of the choices and behaviour that you do want even though it takes you out of your comfort zone at first will accelerate your personal development. Repetition will make those new choices and behavior in positive habits that will not be obstacles to your personal growth.
