The Positive Outlook: In Breaking Out of Your Comfort Zone 2

By Ian Kleine

This is where "breaking" the comfort zone comes in. It is the continuous want that should drive you to do better, find a better place for yourself. Be better, live better, and love your job better. But often, people are bound by their thrall-like tendencies to seek improvement.

There is also a psychological reason for this, but let us not delve too much into the mind. Blaming yourself for mistakes is like shooting yourself in the foot. Highly irrational and definitely not beneficial.

So basically, there are some stuffs that you have to override. For one, it's contention. Big men aspire. They dream a lot, often these dreams being very insatiable to the core. But it is this driving force that makes them do a lot of things. Some great, some of them infamous, but common men would envy them. Because they have lived chasing their dream. And most often, died running in their feet.

The other thing you have to override is fear. Fear in danger is more dangerous than danger itself. If you constantly think of the danger of wanting progress and development, you will never prosper. You will only live to work for the next day and somehow die in that cycle of living we call a routine.

Another thing to override is habit, and is one of the other things to break. For whatever purpose, habit is not at all a good thing in the constant world of change. One needs malleability, but they also need to have the backbone and the cojones to pull off a decision together, and one that needs a degree of courage to do so. Don't be afraid or risking. If you lose, treat it as a lesson. If you win, then treat it is a privilege and a basis for your next courses of action.
