Being comfortable seems to be our goal even though it isn’t the best representation of who we are. Comfort food is usually heavy, your comfort clothes are reserved for weekends and being in your comfort zone is usually in private.
According to Tony Robbins’ Six Human Needs for Fulfillment (security, insecurity, love & connection, significance, contribution and growth), the first two are in paradox. When you feel secure all the time, you get bored. So you need some insecurity (adventure, excitement) in your life to feel fulfilled.
Imagine a pendulum where the equilibrium point is where it is still. Move the bob to one side (action) will cause the pendulum to swing to the other side (reaction). Imagine your life always in 15 degrees of swing for this is where you feel secure. As you know, there is nothing remarkable about being in this position so it becomes boring. To become extraordinary, you must move the bob 45 degrees out of your comfort zone to experience massive failure so it has the chance to swing to the other side to achieve massive success.
Now examine your personal and professional life to see how you can put in full swing.
