Comfort is a trap, A feelings that make and gives us reasons to be conducive where we are and slowly killing our time until we are awake in the night (old age) where we find no pleasure in life anymore, where our limbs become so weak, where our muscle and minds are no longer strong enough to carry destiny. Comfort is a destiny killer.
I once lived under a little home with my parent then,when life seemed so cuzy and loving, I didn't really see the need to move out because I had all that I needed. But then that wasn't the life for me. I was so comfortable there so therefore never wanted to try something new. Of course trying something new required moving out, but I wasn't ready for that. Comfort makes you feel that where you are is enough to get going, But it always the biggest trap in disguise.
One day I had to move out, Trying new things and encountering new challenges in an environment where no one was really familia. I didn't feel comfortable, I faced difficulties and and I needed to learn new skills that would add money to my pocket so I could keep up to my expenses and still have what to save.
It was so uncomfortable. Of course success is not comfortable as the process brings new phases of challenges which in turn builds experiences and make you strong. Every challenge in life is a test that launches you into another level in life. Every level in life changes you as a person, by means of experience as there is no short cut to true growth. Every organic growth leads to success, only true growth leads to true success.
Like I said, success is not comfortable. Comfort only kills your height by creating fear, FEAR! Fear of what exactly? of the unknown and failure. You have already failed once you perceive "fear". And that comfort create the fear, then fear create failure. You do not fail because you have been failing. You fail because you are afraid to fail. Failure is a professional step to success, success is a product of relentless and multiple failures. There is never shortcut to that. You either get comfortable being uncomfortable or you stay limited in that same position forever!
