Day 88: On the Comfort Zone

People  will  do  almost  anything  to  stay  in  their  comfort  zones.  If  you

want  to  accomplish  anything,  get  out  of  your  comfort  zone.  Strive  to

increase order and discipline in your life. Discipline usually means doing

the opposite of what you feel like doing.

—Dave Kekich

 

83

I  used  to  be  terrified  of  heights.  When  I  was  a  teenager,  I  remember

shaking  with  fear  while  I  stood  on  top  of  a  130-feet  (40  meters)  tower,

afraid to approach the railing. Today, I hike through the high mountains and

climb cliffs up to the same height as that of the tower. I jumped out of the

airplane, visited the tallest building in the world as of 2017 (Burj Khalifa in

Dubai) and flew in a hot-air balloon — things I would have never done in a

million  years  if  it  weren’t  for  my  consistent  attempts  to  face  my  fear  of

heights.


Don’t  get  me  wrong:  I  still  experience  fear,  but  it  has  greatly

diminished,  thanks  to  years  of  stepping  outside  of  my  comfort  zone.

Exposing myself to heights was the opposite of what I felt like doing, but I

knew it was necessary to help me grow. What started as a mere desire to get

rid of a fear of heights turned into a full-blown personal transformation.

Whether  it’s  a  fear  of  heights,  an  aversion  to  exercise,  or  any  other

kind of animosity toward the uncomfortable, scary, or out of the ordinary,

stretching your comfort zone by gradually exposing yourself to such stimuli

will lead to immense personal growth.

I strongly recommend regularly stepping outside your comfort zone in

both little and big ways .

Little  ways  can  include  something  as  simple  as  pushing  a  little  bit

harder during a workout or working for a little while longer when you feel

like you’re about to fall asleep.

Big  ways  include  things  like  skydiving  if  you’re  afraid  of  heights,

camping  in  the  wilderness  if  your  biggest  love  in  life  is  your  warm,

comfortable  bed,  or  learning  public  speaking  when  you’re  terrified  of

speaking in front of more than two people.




As uncomfortable and difficult it is to step outside your comfort zone,

it pays incredible dividends in the long run. Make it an inherent part of your

life  to  expose  yourself  to  discomfort  and  face  your  fears  head  on.  Few

things will change your life more than going outside of your comfort zone.
