What is a Comfort Zone?

Age as a general dictionary defines a comfort zone situation in which you feel comfortable and you don't feel like doing anything new or difficult. It is also a situation where your ability and determination are not being tested. But life is full of opportunities to step outside our comfort zone but getting the mood to grab hold of them can be difficult. Often, the problem is not being aware of valid reasons to do so. After all, if the comfort zone is meeting our most basic needs why should we take the trouble of getting into something new or seek trouble by experimentation? Within the comfort zone, there is no incentive to reach new heights of performance. So, people go about doing routines that don't have any risk and do not progress further. Now let us look at some dangers of the comfort zone.

The Trouble with Comfort Zones

You won't discover your strengths - It's easy to stick to doing tasks which you are sure of the outcome. However, you can discover your strengths and genius only when you challenge yourself. When you challenge yourself you can discover your strengths and weaknesses. It can also ignite your hidden passions and learn what makes you tick. By attempting to move out of your comfort zone you can open new doors to abilities that you didn't even possessed.
