Get uncomfortable

A mentor of mine says “Your Success Stops At The Level Of Your Comfortability”.

This applies to success in any area of life, money, social success, weight loss, career or whatever. If you aren’t feeling very comfortable because whatever you’re doing is relatively new and you feel a bit out of your depth then it’s probably a good sign. It means you’re growing.

The danger in life is getting so comfortable with it that even if it’s unpleasant, painful, dissatisfying or boring, you’ll stay in that position. That is, you’re stuck in your comfort zone.

If you don’t take uncomfortable steps to get out of it you’ll still be there in years to come.

It’s great to feel comfortable. It’s okay to be that way if you like being there. But if some aspect of your life is not the way you want it because you are stuck in a comfort rut and you don’t like being there, get out of it.

Get uncomfortable and get out of it. Once you’re out and you’ve expanded your comfort zone you can feel comfortable again but this time in a more desirable place. You’ll be glad you did.

Remember the discomfort is only temporary.
