Your convenience zone is a place, but nothing grows

Two roads forked into the forest and I chose to travel at least in the middle.

Is that what changed everything?

Robert Frost

You can only grow if you’re willing to feel uncomfortable for a while. That’s the way it is, period. I’m not going to say that everything you want is outside the four emotional walls around you, but yes, all you want or want is.

Good things don’t happen because they happen, because they attract us and because we have everything to create them, something happens definitively because we go up the mountain and not because we expect the mountain to come to us.

Actually, the only way to make our dreams come true is to put an expiration date on them, however curious it may seem, changes us, if we are aware that the possibilities offered by life will eventually expire, we will charge the batteries to achieve it. our goals.

It is also possible that by putting a validity in our aspirations, we realize that we have not properly established what we want and that we have to reinvent the definition of what we want.

In addition to what we already know, there is our area of learning, this is the terrain on which we will expand our world view and acquire new knowledge, here we are when we study, observe, experiment, compare, travel and meet new people.

Many people like to learn and often go out to enjoy the view from new horizons, but there are also those who are afraid and do not embark on new paths, unless they are forced to do so.

They are the people who consider it dangerous to leave the comfort zone, so they go to work and go home to dinner with their partner, watch TV and fall asleep, limiting their lives to daily routines.

The panic zone is much further from the comfort zone. However, this area exists only for those who live comfortably and do not dare to question life. This is where others say to you, “Don’t do this, ” “Do you want to?fail, “The risk of getting it wrong is huge and horrible things can happen. “

What these people refuse to know is that the only way to cultivate a garden full of wonderful flowers is to break with the conventionalisms we impose ourselves, as a people and as a society.

This is the area where wonderful things appear, where we value our dreams and overcome them.

When you’re there, you’re probably very afraid. For example, it is almost certain that a sudden and immense fear will invade you by leaving your comfort zone, but soon you will realize that this is not the case; your comfort zone has not been eliminated, it has only grown.

In addition, when the tension generated by emotional comfort prompts him to take a step back and not move forward, his motivational tension will push him forward, which becomes easier over time.

It is normal to be afraid to play the role of ridicule, fail, not have time for the family or to do other activities that we like, but the only way to free ourselves is to face it, to become aware of who we are. I still need to learn.

Now it’s time to stop and think about your dreams that have come true and those that haven’t. It’s something that happens to all of us; we begin to add days when nothing happens in our dying calendars and leave the seasons of our lives empty.

I daresay that if you are afraid, very afraid and, at the same time, you move on, you are doing very well, remember that we can only discover new oceans if we are not afraid to lose sight of the coast.
