Breaking Out Of Your Comfort Zone Is The Key To Happiness

If you want to change your life and live happier and better, you need to step out of your comfort zone.

Today, we stay in our comfort zone because we are scared to step out. Most of us fear the unknown. We don’t like the idea of what could possibly happen and not knowing for sure. I know from personal experience that I love to plan out my day and know exactly what is going to happen that day.

News flash, that’s not how life works.

You never know what is going to happen. It is just something that is inevitable. You might end up switching your major, you might take that job offer, you might not be with your significant other for the rest of your life.

A lot of people try their best to change their life. They want a better life than the one they had growing up. We strive to be the best, which isn’t a bad thing, it’s a good thing. Most people just don’t know that it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes work and change. Which is where comfort comes in.

We are so used to how we live that changing is scary, or maybe we just don’t like the idea of changing ourselves or all our habits.

I am going to let you in on a little secret: if you want to change your life and live happier and better, you need to step out of your comfort zone. You need to take a chance on the unknown.

I wanted to change my life for the better. Become more successful, have more positive friends, and do something out of the ordinary. After months of trying, I finally got offered the best offer. It brought me responsibility, the most amazing friends, and it made me change my habits.

I couldn’t be happier with how I am living now, and it is all because I accepted the challenge of stepping out of my comfort zone.

If you can do that, there is nothing that you should ever fear nor is there nothing you can’t do. It just takes that one moment where you dare yourself to do something you aren’t necessarily comfortable with. If you can do that, then you will be successful in changing your whole life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
