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.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
