Who wants to live their whole life isolated and quiet? Any person with any kind of aspirations would absolutely hate that idea. At one point or another, we all realize our limits. We can easily recognize what makes us comfortable, what makes us angry, what makes us sad, and what makes us happy. We all have our own comfort zones, and for a while it might seem all right to stay in them and never branch out. This mindset is toxic. Living a life risk-less and without experiences is almost the same as living not at all.

Escaping your comfort zone is necessary for anyone that truly wants to find value in anything they want to do. After all, we are given so many opportunities in life, why not take all the ones that will make us happy? Would you rather go out and experience the world, or would you rather sit at home and watch TV all day?

Are you going to take the extra steps required at a job to get a promotion, or are you going to be content with your current position and never make any moves? Those are no-brainers to me, I don’t want to have a job with no advancement, and I would much rather live my life in the best way possible than sit inside all day.

Think of it this way, life is like a party.

Even if you don’t want to be at this particular party, you are here anyways and who knows you might have the time of your life at this party and it could have the greatest memories to share with others in the future. So, with that in mind you can either have an amazing time at this party and take advantage of the opportunity given to you to live a little, or you can sit on a couch and complain the whole time... what seems like a better option to you?

Life will always find ways to throw things at you to test your limits. These things often push your comfort zone to the brink, trust me I know, I’ve been there numerous times. So, in these scenarios instead of running away, find what you can use and make the best out of it. Very recently, my comfort zone was pushed harder than it had ever been and honestly at first, I wanted to walk away, but I didn’t. Instead of being scared and giving up, I charged head on into this curve ball life had thrown at me.Guess what? I crushed that ball out of the park. The experience that followed me not giving up was one of the most rewarding things I have been a part of. I conquered my own comfort zone, and I don’t believe much can faze me now.Think about this when you wake up in the morning every day, are you going to hit that snooze button or are you going to get up and go experience life the way it should be?
