Why Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone Is Pivotal To Your Success

By on February 15, 2018

Think about it. Do you know anyone who has ever become successful by staying within their comfort zone? You haven’t because it’s not possible.

When you’re going out in the world and working on creating a better life for yourself, you’re getting outside your comfort zone. Most people aren’t like that, they like to stay within their comfort zone.

Why do people stay within their comfort zone? I don’t think most people dream of working a dead end job. It’s because when they’re growing up, somewhere along the line someone shot their dream down and they’ve been believing that since. This could’ve come from a teacher or a parent, perhaps friends.

Are you one of those people who had their dreams shot down? Or maybe you think you’re not good enough to succeed. All you’re doing is making excuses for yourself why you’re not successful.

I understand getting outside of your comfort zone isn’t easy. I’m not saying you should quit your job to start an open-ended business idea. You can start a side hustle so eventually, you’ll be able to quit your job and go into your business full-time allowing you to get outside your comfort zone.

The life you desire to live is on the other side of your comfort zone. If you’re willing to push past any fears you have, you can get anything you want. Any athlete or business person had to face their fears to achieve success.

When you go through life, you can become complacent. You fall into the same day to day routine without notice. Before you know it, fifty years of your life has passed. I don’t think you want to be that person. By taking risks and stepping outside your comfort zone, you can begin to live.

By deciding to step outside your comfort zone, you’re deciding to make your own life and forge a path of your own destiny.
