Greetings my Indian friends, congratulations to the winners of last week prompt.
Not everyone will understand what it means to leave your comfort, especially when you have never experienced forcefully leaving your comfort before.
Forced out of my comfort.
It's Three years now I was forced out of my comfort and the effect is still hurting me till this minute.
It all happened one early morning I left home to my business, I owned a very big supermarket and I had some sales girls, I have worked so hard to build that supermarket and it was among the best super market in the area, I had so many plans on how to become more bigger not knowing what was ahead of me, it was during October season so I was restocking drinks and other goods so that I can have enough goods for December sales, all my money where invested on goods.
Just that morning I opened my supermarket and the cleaners where cleaning everywhere, then I heard voices outside and I said let me check what's happening, the noise was from the next building, there were thugs, bulldozers, caterpillar and police men, so I got scared, I stepped out to ask what is happening, one of the police men said to me "Madam the government have instructed that we pull down all the building in this line and that includes your supermarket" I couldn't comprehend what he was talking about, I quickly reached out to my Landlord on phone telling him what was happening, He said someone already called him and he will be there soon.
At that point I don't know what to do, I can't even pick out anything reasonable from the shop, am confused and don't know what to do, I kept calling everyone close to me thinking anyone can help.
Just few minutes they started demolishing the building where I had my supermarket and that was how they destroyed everything to the last of them all.
I was depressed and was hospitalized, there I spent the little money I have and life became so ridiculous for me.
I had to start searching for office job which I have not done for years, I have to start waking up very early so as to meetup early to work, my resting and relaxing Sunday was taken away from me, I have to start enduring derogatory words from my colleagues and my boss.
Forcefully leaving my comfort has made life so difficult for me and I can't believe that it would have happened so soon, in just a second I turned from an employer to an employee.
So many had I know runs in my mind everyday I leave home so early and come back so tired, I shade tears at the end of every month when I receive the token known as salary, I can't wait to have my comfort back.
In summary I will say that comfort doesn't mean that you have it all but it simply means that you can control your time, your happiness and your life , when you lose that authority of yourself it becomes difficult to maintain happiness and joy.
