Your comfort zone – abandon it!

Are you really happy or just really comfortable?

There is a difference. It seems very little to the comfortable person, but every happy person knows how huge the gap between happiness and just being comfortable actually is.

Staying in a cozy home every day, avoiding risks and therefore chances might seem like happiness to many, especially in our high-tech world.

But truth be told: You will only feel alive when you go out there and explore. Take risks, take chances, meet new people, embrace random encounters, be open towards new cultures, live with an open mind. It takes courage and strenght but it pays off and can be done step by step.

Comfort Zone

The secret to life is being comfortable with being uncomfortable and doing the things you know you should be doing even when you don’t feel like it.

Life starts at the end of your comfort zone

Always do what you are afraid to do.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don’t get me wrong. You should not do bad or stupid stuff.

Sometimes you are afraid for a goddamn reason and you should always be rational about doing scaring stuff.

But in many cases you are afraid although you exactly know that what you are about to do is the right thing.

In this cases: Have courage, pull through! You can do it!

Opportunities – Seize them!

Take risks every day!

A risk a day keeps the shrink away

It is important to step out of your comfort zone constantly. Risk something every single day. Do something you fear or feel uncomfortable doing every day. Do this consciously and grow through it.

ACT, for God’s sake!

All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it’s impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Developt the strenght to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.

Niccolo Michiavelli

Making no mistakes is such a stupid goal I can’t find words to express it.

You want to make mistakes, you want to learn, to grow!

Have the confidence to do so and you will enjoy the ride.

Go for it!

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

You don’t have to know about risks and possible outcomes all the time. Sometimes you just go for it, you leap into it.

After all you learn how to swim in the water, not on land.
