Your Comfort Zone will Kill You

By Lilly Petersen

Your comfort zone will kill you

We all love it.
It makes us feel good. It makes us feel safe. People, places, rituals, that we know.
As long as we’re staying within it, we will do fine.

This place feels so safe to us, yet it can be very dangerous.

Our comfort zone.

When you feel comfortable you’re not gonna change habits. When you feel comfortable, there’s no need for you to take risks. When you feel comfortable, you’re not being challenged to grow.

It’s this weird feeling in our stomach of discomfort that we have to go for, whenever we can.

Because guess what,
one day the things that once seemed uncomfortable to you, will eventually be your standards. You stay in your comfort zone, you will always be just one of them, do just fine,

never stand out.

Get out. Seek the weird feeling in your stomach.
