Why You Do Not Want To Leave Your Comfort Zone
The obvious answer is fear. However, there is also a belief buried in your subconscious or not buried at all, that the new zone will be more painful than your current comfort zone. Thus, you fear the potential pain you will experience once you step out of your comfort zone. Here are two questions for you: 1. How long have you been stagnant in your comfort zone? 2. Is your comfort zone really that comfortable?
YOU WILL LEAVE WHEN IT GETS UNBEARABLE
The idea behind this concept is that when the pain of staying put gets unbearable, you will find the courage and the motivation to leave your comfort zone. You can create immense discomfort and pain right now that will inspire you to take that first step. This is what many call leverage. You must leverage the pain of staying put against the pleasure you will gain from stepping out of your comfort zone. However, another question for you: Do you really want to live your life at your fullest potential? Scary thought isn’t it that you all by yourself has been the block to you living your best life.
WHAT’S BEHIND THE BLOCK TO YOUR SUCCESS?
There is doubt. But what is doubt, doubt is just another way that fear shows up in our lives. Fear is an emotion that you are 100% responsible for creating. Here is the real reason behind your fear, you have a belief or two that:
- You are not capable of dealing with what will happen when you step out of your comfort zone.
- You are not worthy and deserving of better than your current comfort zone.
You may be shocked that these beliefs are buried in your subconscious. However, I respectfully ask you to EXAMINE YOUR STORY. Can you recall occasions over the years when you were about to make a breakthrough, and you ended up sabotaging yourself?
BELIEVE BEFORE YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR DESIRE
You must get clear from all the limiting beliefs that you have been holding on to for so long. You must have clarity and passion about your purpose. What do you really want? Now let us dig a little deeper. Right now, in this moment, how does your current comfort zone meet your needs?
- Is it giving you certainty and comfort?
- What about status and significance?
- Do you get variety in your current comfort zone?
- What about love and connection?
We know that when we step out of our comfort zone, we can grow into our full potential. Are you even curious about what your full potential looks like?
STOP LIMITING YOUR GROWTH BECAUSE OF FEAR
I know that God created each of us for an amazing purpose. God has plans to use each of us for His glory. However, we can block that through doubting God’s sovereignty and love. “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” Can we step out in faith and trust God’s will for our lives? I do not know about you, but I have tried it my way for decades and I am enthused and curious about how God intends to use me to grow His kingdom. Here is my humble opinion, your comfort zone is exactly where Satan wants you to stay. Do not give him the pleasure by staying in your comfort zone, step out in faith, there is much to be gained.
