Comfort Vs Possibilities

Comfort Vs Possibilities

By:


What comfort zone are you currently living in?
Maybe you are going about your days engaging in the same activities, done the same way, day after day. Maybe it is like your favorite warm, cozy chair on a rainy day where you are safe, relaxed and secure. It could also be the overwhelming work life you have, yet the familiarity of it keeps you there. For me it was a great job that I had been in for years and the house I owned in the town I grew up in. Both were very safe, secure and predictable, but both were missing something big - adventure and possibility.
What is so great about being comfortable?
Comfort is easy, safe, secure, familiar, and known. When we are comfortable, we often dont have to think very much, or worry, or plan. We just go through the motions of life, which can be a very freeing experience.
If there are so many great things about comfort, why would anyone ever want to leave their comfort zone?
Though comfort can be very freeing, it can also be restricting or keep you stuck. New experiences, challenge, growth and development are all outside your comfort zone. Stretching outside of it can feel overwhelming but can also be very rewarding.
What is so great about exploring possibilities?
Just the word possibility brings up feelings of energy, excitement and wonder. Exploring our wants, interests, ideas and dreams can be rewarding, fulfilling and confidence building.
If possibilities are so great, what stops us from reaching for them right now?
What stops us from stepping out of comfort and reaching for possibilities? It is often fear of the unknown. We know comfort, even if we dont like it. We dont know whats in the world of possibility.
Where are you most comfortable?
Where might you be too comfortable and that comfort is holding you back?
What possibilities do you imagine for your life?
What would it be like to go for them?
What effect would that have on your life?
