Comfort Zone

If the greatest enemy of self-confidence is fear, then the great enemy of human achievement is the comfort zone. Psychologists have found that each of us has a tendency to have this zone of behavior or performance where we are comfortable; where it is easy and unchallenging to stay there. We stop striving, we relax, and day-by-day, we develop the habits that lead to underachievement – and ultimately – failure.

The tragedy of staying in the comfort zone is eventually we will miss our golden opportunities and deeply regret it.

American philosopher and writer Mark Twain said:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
