Comfort zone

We all have our comfort zone where we feel relax and don’t want to move on.

For example, we are hard to leave our bed, especially, in the winter morning. We have lots of excuse, like it is too cold to get up, I’m too tired and I just want to sleep more. We don’t want to try to leave our comfort zone because we feel comfortable and everything is under control. However,  “the amazing things happen out of the comfort zone”. When you have a good work, stable life, everything seems prefect and you think that’s what you want, and you don’t need to move on, but if you want to know more about the world, or make your life be more meaningful, maybe you should try harder on what you want to know or you want to learn.

We all have our comfort zone where we feel relaxed and don’t want to move from/ leave.

For example, it is hard to leave bed / get out of bed, especially, in winter mornings. We have lots of excuses, like it is too cold to get up, I’m too tired and I just want to sleep more. We don’t want to try to leave our comfort zone because we feel comfortable and everything is under control. However,  “the amazing things happen out of the comfort zone”. When you have a good work, stable life, everything seems prefect and you think that’s what you want, and you don’t want it to end / you don’t need to leave, but if you want to know more about the world, or make your life more meaningful, maybe you should try harder on what you want to know or you want to learn.

Learn English, read more books, try to write something, be a specialist in my profession field. Less sleep every morning, no more excuses for my laziness. Try to learn something in another field, like programming, sports, and so on.

I believe that if I don’t waste time everyday, leave the comfort zone, then, amazing things will happen.
